NTSB narrative
The pilot and a passenger departed on a local flight in an airplane that requires a minimum crew of 2 pilots. The airplane landed about halfway down the runway, with about 2,000 ft of runway remaining. The pilot did not deploy the thrust reversers and the airplane skidded about 965 ft down the runway and into the runway safety area. The airplane collided with a culvert, resulting in the separation of the landing gear and substantial damage to both wings.
Probable cause
The pilot landed long and failed to deploy the thrust reversers, which resulted in a runway overrun and impact with terrain. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s decision to operate the airplane as a single pilot instead of the required minimum crew of two pilots.

Source notes (4)
- 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: investigation status, coordinates, cause areas. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
