A Beechcraft 1900 aircraft, operated by Pineapple Air, landed and departed from the North Eleuthera International Airport (MYEH), Eleuthera, Bahamas, after the aerodrome was closed by airport authority officials.
An Embraer EMB-110 aircraft, C6-MIC, was disabled after landing which prompted the closure of the aerodrome. The incident occurred at the turn off entrance into the ramp area (approximately 2,890 ft. from runway 07 threshold). The tail section of the aircraft (rudder and stabilizer) protruded onto runway 07 after the main gear tire detached from the left landing gear during landing roll-out.
At 07:04, Nassau air traffic control (ATC) received notification of the disabled aircraft and advised all aircraft inbound to North Eleuthera of the status of the aerodrome due to the disabled aircraft.
The Operator dispatched a relief aircraft to render assistance. Two pilots and three mechanics were on board, the aircraft which landed at the North Eleuthera Airport during the period the airport was deemed closed due to disabled aircraft.
Further investigation uncovered that the Operator filed a flight plan for the relief aircraft to the Governor’s Harbor Airport, Eleuthera (MYEM), Bahamas (an aerodrome approximately 26 nautical miles (NM) south-east of MYEH) and terminated radar services approximately 20 NM from Nassau. Nassau ATC advised that the aircraft turned off its transponder (equipment that identifies aircraft on ATC radar screen) after services were terminated. Upon observing this, ATC notified North Eleuthera airport authority officials to ensure that the crew of C6-KRC were aware of the airport’s closure.
Investigations uncovered that upon landing at MYEH, airport authority officials advised the crew of C6-KRC of the airport’s closure due to the disabled aircraft.
