Mitsubishis MU-2 twin turboprop gained FAA type certification in 1965. Initial U.S. production and sales were handled through an arrangement with Mooney Aircraft from a facility in San Angelo, Texas. By 1969, Mooney had fallen on hard times-a familiar theme for the company-and Mitsubishi stepped in to continue production and support. Worldwide production of new airplanes ended in the 1980s, with more than 750 copies having been built.
As seen on:
On September 30, 2005, then-Director of FAAs Flight Standards Service, Jim Ballough, noted in a letter to the types owners/operators, and to maintenance technicians, the MU-2 series airplane has been involved in 11 accidents over the past 18 months, with a total of 12 fatalities. The letter announced the agency urgently was undertaking an in-depth safety evaluation and added, performance expectations and control techniques common in other turboprop twins do not necessarily transfer to flying the MU-2. Balloughs letter acknowledged the widespread perception that the airplane had a problem, thanks to its wing design and use of spoilers for roll control, which had been building for years.
As seen on:
At 1715 Eastern time, the airplane experienced a nose gear collapse during landing rollout. Visual conditions prevailed. The airplane received structural damage to the forward pressure vessel. The airline transport rated pilot and two passengers reported no injuries. After the pilot entered a right-hand traffic pattern and completed all pre-landing checklist items, the airplane touched down on the runway and the nose landing gear collapsed.
