On 9 October, a Asian One Air Cessna 208B Grand Caravan (registered PK-LTF) suffered a brake failure while attempting to take off from Kenyam Airport, Papua Mountains, Indonesia. The aircraft ended up next to the runway, in soft ground.
Confirming the incident, Nduga Regency Police Chief, Commissioner VJ Parapaga, stated, “It is indeed true that an accident occurred involving an Asian One aircraft shortly before it was scheduled to depart for Timika. The incident was a result of brake failure, and fortunately, there were no casualties.”
Asian One Air is an airline based in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Had exactly the same problem in a T210 that just came out of the shop.Beautiful day so I just taxied out to the long runway at Pullman.I got to the departure end and stepped on the right brake. The plane swerved into the soft dirt..no damage but I realized how foolish not to test brakes after shop work..
