Crossed Wires

The NTSB cites a wiring problem and malfunctioning antiskid system in a Saab SA-2000’s runway overrun, which killed one passenger.

by Linda Werfelman | November 29, 2021

A PenAir Saab SA-2000, pushed along by a 15-kt tailwind and hindered by incorrect wiring that caused the antiskid system to malfunction, overran both the runway and the runway safety area after touching down at Unalaska (Alaska, U.S.) Airport, stopping with its nose inches above the water at Dutch Harbor.
