On May 1, 2025, about 1030 mountain standard time, an experimental amateur-built Long EZE, N433EZ, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Tucson, Arizona. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot departed Ryan Field Airport (RYN), Tucson, Arizona, and flew to Marana Regional Airport (AVQ), Marana, Arizona, and accomplished a low approach to the runway. The pilot then returned to RYN for a full stop landing on runway 6R. He reported that during the landing roll, the left brake failed, and the airplane veered right and exited the runway. Subsequently, the airplane’s left canard struck a runway sign, which resulted in substantial damage to the canard. The airplane came to rest about 20 ft off the right side of runway.
The airplane was secured for further examination.
