## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: ON APRIL 28, 1997, (IDENTITY EXPUNGED) WAS PILOT IN COMMAND OF BEECH BARON, N3054W, ON AN IFR CARGO FLIGHT FROM ROANOKE, VIRGINIA TO ABINGDON, VIRGINIA.

INSTEAD OF CONDUCTING A MISSED APPROACH FROM THE SECOND LOCALIZER APPROACH, (IDENTITY EXPUNGED) CONDUCTED A CIRCLING MANEUVER THAT INVOLVED A 360 DEGREE TURN BACK TO RUNWAY 24. N3054W TOUCHED DOWN ON RUNWAY 24, WHICH WAS WET, AT APPROXIMATELY THE HALF-WAY POINT. THE AIRCRAFT WAS UNABLE TO STOP ON THE REMAINING RUNWAY AND RAN OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND DOWN A SLIGHT EMBANKMENT, CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. NO INJURIES RESULTED. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ THIS INVESTIGATION CLOSED WITH THIS REPORT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
