A Cessna 350 was returned to service after a major repair. A pilot, accompanied by a mechanic, did a high-speed brake test to bed in the new brake linings. After that, the pilot took off for a test flight but aborted the take-off at about 75 knots. During the taxiing back to the parking bay after the aborted take-off, the aircraft veered to the left of the taxiway centreline. The pilot shut down the engine in an attempt to slow down the aircraft. He managed to steer the aircraft to avoid a parked aircraft as well as an aircraft that was being towed into a parking bay. When his aircraft had eventually come to a stop, the pilot noticed a burning smell in the cockpit and ordered an evacuation. After the pilot and mechanic had evacuated from the aircraft, the main landing wheels caught fire. The fire was eventually extinguished. The aircraft’s belly and main landing gears were damaged by the fire. The pilot and mechanic were not injured.
CONCLUSION
1 There were similar wheel/brake fire incidents resulting from inadequate brake cooling. This incident again highlights the need to adhere to the aircraft manufacturer’s advice regarding brake cooling.
3.2 The aircraft was over the maximum gross weight prior to its operation on 8 December 2016. The weight and balance record form in the POH was not updated following an aircraft weighing on 8 December 2016.
