National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Final Report
National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Final Report Location: Big Bear City, CA Accident Number: LAX02LA252 Date & Time: 08/13/2002, 1120 PDT Registration: N50BK Aircraft: Cessna S550 Aircraft Damage: Destroyed Defining Event: Injuries: 7 None Flight Conducted Under: Part 135: Air Taxi & Commuter - Non-scheduled Analysis On a final approach to runway 26 the flight crew was advised by a flight instructor in the traffic pattern that a wind shear condition existed about one-quarter of the way down the approach end of the runway, which the flight crew acknowledged. On a three mile final approach the flight crew was advised by the instructor that the automated weather observation system (AWOS) was reporting the winds were 060 degrees at 8 knots, and that he was changing runways to runway 08. The flight crew did not acknowledge this transmission. The captain said that after landing smoothly in the touchdown zone on Runway 26, he applied normal braking without any response. He maintained brake pedal pressure and activated the engine thrust reversers without any response. The copilot said he considered the approach normal and that the captain did all he could to stop the airplane, first applying the brakes and then pulling up on the thrust reversers twice, with no sensation of slowing at all. Considering the double malfunction and the mountainous terrain surrounding the airport, the captain elected not to go around. The aircraft subsequently overran the end of the 5,860 foot runway (5,260 feet usable due to the 600 displaced threshold), went through the airport boundary fence, across the perimeter road, and came to rest upright in a dry lakebed approximately 400 feet from the departure end of the runway.

General Engine and Wing Anti-Ice System
Cessna Citation XLS - Anti-Ice & De-Ice Systems GENERAL The airplane utilizes a combination of engine bleed air, electrical heating elements and pneumatic boots to accomplish anti-ice/deice functions. The anti-ice system consists of bleed air heated engine inlets, wing leading edges, and fan spinner and stators. Electric heating elements are used for pitot- tubes, static ports, a true airspeed (TAS) probe and an angle-of-attack probe. The horizontal stabilizer is deiced by pneumatic boots. Windshield anti-ice is provided by electrical heating. All anti-ice systems should be turned on when operating in visible moisture and the indicated RAT is +10°C or below. NOTE • Icing conditions exist when the indicated RAT on the ground and for takeoff is +10°C or below; the indicated RAT in flight is +10°C or below; and visible moisture in any form is present (such as clouds, fog with visibility of one mile or less, rain, snow, sleet or ice crystals.) • Icing conditions also exist when the indicated RAT on the ground and for takeoff is +10°C or below when operating on ramps, taxiways or runways where snow, ice, standing water, or slush may be ingested by the engines or freeze on engine nacelles or engine sensor probes. ENGINE AND WING ANTI-ICE SYSTEM Bleed air flows continuously through the fan spinner whether the anti-ice system is activated or not. When the wing/engine anti-ice three position switches (one for each engine) are positioned to ON ENGINE, bleed air flows through the applicable engine inlet and engine stators.

Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-3B) Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Ground Operations Introduction All pilots must ensure that they place a strong emphasis on ground operations as this is where safe flight begins and ends. At no time should a pilot hastily consider ground operations without proper and effective thoroughness. This phase of flight provides the first opportunity for a pilot to safely assess the various factors of flight operations including the regulatory requirements, an evaluation of the airplane’s condition, and the pilot’s readiness for their pilot in command (PIC) responsibilities. 2-1 Flying an airplane presents many new responsibilities that are not required for other forms of transportation. Focus is often overly placed on the flying portion itself with less emphasis placed on ground operations; it must be stressed that a pilot should allow themselves adequate time to properly prepare for flight and maintain effective situational awareness at all times until the airplane is safely and securely returned to its tie-down or hangar. This chapter covers the essential elements for the regulatory basis of flight including an airplane’s airworthiness requirements, important inspection items when conducting a Figure 2-2. A visual inspection of the aircraft before flight is an preflight visual inspection, managing risk and resources, and important step in mitigating airplane flight hazards. proper and effective airplane surface movements including the use of the Airplane Flight Manual/Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AFM/POH) and airplane checklists. be kept accurate and secure but available for inspection. Airplane logbooks are not required, nor is it advisable, to be Preflight Assessment of the Aircraft kept in the airplane.
