## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT MADE NORMAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 29 AT GREAT BARRINGTON MA, ALTITUDE WAS TOO HIGH AND AIRSPEED HIGH CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO TOUCH DOWN HALF WAY DOWN THE RUNWAY. PILOT APPLIED FULL BRAKES AND SKIDDED ALL THE WAY DOWN THE RUNWAY TO THE END AND WENT OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY DOWN A THREE FOOT EMBANKMENT AND CAME TO REST THERE.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

Probable cause: The pilot's misjudgment of the airplane's distance/speed and failure to obtain the proper touchdown point, which resulted in an overrun. A factor was the cross wind.
