Cracked spars on Seneca's

[n757st]

Shaun,

We have something in common. I had the right main collapse on rollout doing about 70 knots. Luckily it fell in and aft between the flap and the runway. There was a 600 foot skidmark that ended about 2 inches from the right edge of the runway. Whew!! Plane was still parallel with the centerline, I must say. Can you say "left rudder"?

Seriously though, this thread makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

I had the same thing happen in a cherokee 140... it is a known problem. Fortunatly it was not ruled an accident or anything and the airplane was flying the next day, unfortunatly my student and I got to experience the grass on the side of the runway.
