I'd sure like to know more about this, but I don't know if details will be easy to come by.

Re: Here's something of interest to all
Rich: Thanks for pointing this out. 2002 model owned for at least the last 14 years by flight schools - wonder if structural failure was due to a prior tail strike, etc. Will be interesting to follow this one...

Paul, you can hit the "Back to Summary" button at the top of the page and scroll to the Diamond line.
Wow, running off the end of a 5500' runway in our planes would be pretty difficult unless he was very high on an instrument approach in hard IMC.

Re: Here's something of interest to all
The link I posted (no longer available for some reason) is not for this overrun. These are all too common, however, in all models of aircraft. The incident I was referring to is that apparently the horizontal stabilizer "failed" during runup.

Re: Here's something of interest to all
Following this up is going to be frustrating. It appeared on the FAA incident page when it happened, but aged out, as that page only shows the most recent two weeks. Somehow the link itself also goes defunct when it ages out. I don't expect this to show up in the NTSB data.
Eventually it may pop up in this tool: http://www.aviationdb.com/Aviation/AidQuery.shtm#SUBMIT
But this data is months behind in being updated.
Maybe it will show up as a FAA Service Difficulty Report. I haven't had experience searching these.

Re: Here's something of interest to all
Here's the main part of a seemingly similar incident that did make it into the NTSB data:

Re: Here's something of interest to all
Actually the SDR database is very easy to search (which I did this morning). I didn't see anything there that may have been the report. I did see the Pueblo report which sort of made me laugh. What it doesn't say is that the area they are referring where the bolts are do get moisture and the bolts start to corrode. We are now removing and inspecting/changing them at our 1500 hour (diamonds 1000 hour) inspections.
At times we have had to remove and re-paste the brackets back on the stab. Also we did find one of the brackets that bolts into the vertical stab was cracked under the bolt head area and needed replacement. Mind you these were on 15,000 hour plus machines.
Currently we have 4 machines that are over 18,000 flight training hours and still going strong.

Re: Here's something of interest to all
I finally found that link this morning as well. It looks like there is commonly a delay in getting these entered. So it may come to show up eventually.Spinner wrote: ↑Mon Oct 17, 2022 4:36 pm Actually the SDR database is very easy to search (which I did this morning).

Corrosion isn't likely a factor in the Pueblo incident. (In fact, no "accident" as we think of it actually occurred.) In case you are not aware this is a really dry part of the country with no real salt or pollutants in the air. And it was a really low-time aircraft that looks to still be in service.
