## Narrative

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

(-23) ON LANDING APPROACH THE AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR STRUCK A FENCE THAT WAS MOUNTED ACROSS THE END OF THE RUNWAY. THIS CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO LAND SHORT OF THE RUNWAY. BOTH MAIN GEAR DEPARTED THE AIRCRAFT. THE NOSE GEAR FOLDED UP INSIDE THE NOSE GEAR WHEEL WELL. ALL 3 BLADES ON THE PROP ARE BENT BACK AND BOTH WINGS ARE BUCKLED AND WRINKLED. ONE PASSENGER PLUS MR. PICKLE (THE PILOT) WERE ABOARD THE AIRCRAFT DURING THE ACCIDENT. NO PERSONAL INJURIES.

## NTSB investigation

None matched to this report by aircraft and date. Search the NTSB's own records: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/basic-search

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.
