HARNETT COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- A small plane flipped off the end of a runway during takeoff in Harnett County on Thursday afternoon, officials said.

Officials said the aircraft reportedly had a problem with its right brake, causing the aircraft to stall and flip on its nose.



The pilot was able to walk away unharmed.



The FAA will continue to investigate.
