Accident Number: CEN19LA300
Date & Time: 08/25/2019, 1500 CDT
Registration: N300GD
Aircraft: Cessna 425
Injuries: 1 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal
On August 25, 2019, about 1500 central daylight time, a Cessna 425 airplane, N300GD, registered to Downing Aviation LLC of Edmond, Oklahoma, sustained substantial damage following an emergency gear-up landing at Wiley Post Airport (PWA), Bethany, Oklahoma. The private pilot, who was the sole occupant, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a flight plan was not filed. The personal flight was being conducted under the provisions of Title 14 Code of federal Regulations Part 91.
The pilot reported that he planned to fly the airplane locally to test a newly repaired autopilot. After a normal preflight and run up, the pilot took off from runway 17L at PWA. All gauges were in the green with torque stabilized, and rotation was smooth at 98 knots. The autopilot was not engaged. After confirming a positive rate of climb, the pilot raised the landing gear and confirmed it was locked in the up position. The airplane then suddenly yawed to the left with a slight dip of the left wing, followed by a yaw to the right, followed by a yaw back to the left. Then, after a more pronounced yaw to the right, the pilot determined that directional control was not possible. He decided to abort the take off by reducing power to idle, and landed gear up on the remaining part of the runway. The airplane slid off the runway onto a concrete pad that housed the PAPI lights. The airplane continued sliding onto grass for about 100-yards. After coming to a stop, the pilot secured the airplane and exited
Initial inspection of the airplane revealed a bent left wing. The airplane was secured in a local hangar for further inspection of the flight controls and engines.
