An SVG Air Britten-Norman BN-2B-26 Islander, performing flight SVD207, veered off the runway when landing at John A. Osborne Airport (TPG/TRPG) on the island of Montserrat. It came to rest against an embankment.
Two of the seven occupants sustained minor injuries and the airplane sustained substantial damage to the nose and fuselage.
Conclusion:
When the pilot applied the brakes on landing, a leak from one of the pistons of the left outboard brake calliper rendered the left brakes less effective than the right, causing the aircraft to veer to the right and depart the runway. Difficulty in maintaining directional control was compounded by the limited size of the runway and the use of an incorrect braking technique on landing.
The investigation identified shortcomings with the operators manuals, procedures and regulatory oversight.
