This report discusses the October 17, 2019, accident involving a Saab SA-2000 airplane, operated by Peninsula Aviation Services Inc. d.b.a. PenAir flight 3296, which overran the end of runway 13 at Unalaska Airport, Unalaska, Alaska. The airplane was substantially damaged during the runway overrun; as a result, of the 3 crewmembers and 39 passengers aboard, 1 passenger sustained fatal injuries, and 1 passenger sustained serious injuries. Eight passengers sustained minor injuries, most of which occurred during the evacuation. Safety issues identified in this report include the potential for cross-wiring of airplane antiskid brake systems; insufficient Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidance to identify safety risks for air carriers experiencing significant organizational changes, including bankruptcy, acquisition, and merger; lack of FAA consideration of runway safety area dimensions during the process of authorizing an air carrier to operate its aircraft at a specific Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 139 certificated airport, and the benefits of safety management systems for design, manufacturing, and maintenance organizations. As a result of this investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board makes six new safety recommendations to the FAA, three new safety recommendations to the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and one new recommendation to the Saab Group.
