NTSB narrative

The aircraft overran the departure end of the runway and struck an airport boundary fence and an automobile. In a written statement, the pilot reported the following, 'High approach to runway 27. Touched down approximately half way down the runway. Decision was made to go around. Added full power, mixture rich, propeller takeoff position. Proceeded with forced landing. Impacted fence at departure end of runway 27. Deplaned aircraft.' A video tape taken of the accident site revealed that there were black marks from the runway numbers of runway 05, across the north south road and towards the main wreckage. The threshold of runway 05 is displaced 315 feet. The throttle, mixture and propeller controls were in the forward position. The fence was wrapped around the aircraft's spinner and behind the propeller hub. The trailing edge flaps were in the 10-degree position. The engine was run on the airframe and no anomalies were noted.

Probable cause

the excessive airspeed, the proper touchdown point not obtained and the aborted landing not performed by the pilot. The fence and automobile were contributing factors.

  • Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
  • Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: local date, investigation status. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
  • The date is the local date; the NTSB stores the UTC date 1999-05-29.
