## Narrative

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

(-23) ON 09/08/2007, THE PILOT OF N228C, A 1947 STINSON 108-2, ATTEMPTED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 27 AT JEFFERSON COUNTY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. WINDS WERE FROM THE NW AT 10 KNOTS. AFTER TOUCHING DOWN, THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE RIGHT WITH THE RIGHT WING RAISED AND RIGHT MAIN WHEEL NOT TOUCHING THE GROUND. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED FOR 200 FEET WITH ONLY THE LEFT MAIN WHEEL ON TEH RUNWAY, DEPARTING THE RIGHT SIDE OF RUNWAY 27 APPROXIMATELY 700 FEET FROM THE APPROACH END OF 27. THE LEFT WING TIP OF THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE RUNWAY AS IT EXITED THE PAVED SURFACE. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED INTO THE GRASS MEDIAN FOR A FURTHER 90 FEET. THE TIRE TRACKS END AT 90 FEET PAST THE RUNWAY EXCURSION POINT WHERE THE AIRCRAFT BECAME AIRBORNE. EYEWITNESSES STATED THAT THE PILOT RE-APPLIED POWER AND ATTEMPTED TO TAKEOFF AT THIS POINT, GAINING 30 TO 40 FEET OF ALTITUDE PRIOR TO STALLING AND SPINNING TO THE LEFT AND IMPACTING THE GROUND NOSE-FIRST AT AN ANGLE OF APPROXIMATELY 45 DEGREES. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST IN THE MEDIAN, APPROXIMATELY 1000 FEET FROM THE APPROACH END OF RUNWAY 27, POINTING TO A HEADING OF 075 DEGREES (OPPOSITE THE ORIGINAL DIRECTION OF FLIGHT) WITH SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO WINGS, FUSELAGE, LANDING GEAR, ENGINE AND PROPELLER.

## 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.
