A plane slid off the runway upon landing March 21 at Indianapolis Executive Airport in Zionsville, leaving the seven passengers and two crew members startled but with no injuries.
The pilot told responders that the plane’s right brake locked up during landing, forcing the aircraft to the side off the runway. The plane departed Groton-New London, Conn., at 5:07 p.m. and was scheduled to arrive in Indianapolis at 7:38 p.m. Records show that the aircraft belongs to Farrell 5 LLC of Defiance, Ohio.
The Federal Aviation Administration has been contacted to review the incident, and the runway is expected to reopen as soon as the plane is relocated.
Responders included the Boone County Sherriff’s Office, Zionsville police and fire departments, Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office and the Hamilton County Airport Authority.
