Injuries: 1 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal
On May 23, 2022, at 1333 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 340, N47BP, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at the St. Pete – Clearwater International Airport (PIE), St. Petersburg – Clearwater, Florida. The private pilot was not injured. No flight plan was filed for the personal flight conducted under Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.
This was the pilot’s first flight in the airplane after it came out of annual inspection. The pilot said he tested the brakes prior to departing and everything was normal. The pilot then departed and made a full stop on runway 18, a 9,730-foot-long runway. The pilot said that upon touchdown the brakes had no pressure. The airplane would not slow down and went off the runway and collided with a chain link fence, which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage.

You have to wonder whether or why didn't the pilot plan for the possibility of making a go-around, brake failure or not. With a 9,730 foot runway, it would seem that he likely had a number of reasonable options other than simply allowing the airplane to roll off the end of the runway.
