On May 5, 2022, about 2110 mountain daylight time, a Swearingen SA226-T(B), N36LC, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at Centennial Airport (APA), Denver, Colorado. The captain and first officer were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 positioning flight.
After six passengers disembarked at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (GRI), Grand Island, Nebraska, the captain and first officer departed from GRI without passengers about 1943. During the takeoff roll, the captain reported the airplane accelerated slower than normal and he “pushed the parking brake handle down again”. The takeoff was continued and no anomalies were reported on the departure or enroute to APA.
During the landing at APA, the airplane swerved right and the captain was not able to maintain directional control. The airplane departed the right side of the runway, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing. The airplane was retained for examination.
