## Narrative

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

(-23) ON NOVEMBER 11, 2007, ABOUT 1640 MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME, A MAULE MX-7-180A, N31495, COLLIDED WITH A TREE AFTER VEERING OFF THE RUNWAY AT MOGOLLON AIRPARK, OVERGAARD, ARIZONA. THE STUDENT PILOT OPERATED THE AIRPLANE UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF 14 CFR PART 91. THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED, AND THE AIRPLANE SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. THE CROSS-COUNTRY PERSONAL FLIGHT DEPARTED PHOENIX DEER VALLEY AIRPORT, PHOENIX ARIZONA, ABOUT 1520, WITH A PLANNED DESTINATION OF MOGOLLON AIRPARK. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED, AND NO FLIGHT PLAN HAD BEEN FILED. THE PILOT STATED, IN THE PILOT/OPERATOR AIRCRAFT ACCIDENT REPORT, THAT AFTER LANDING, HE LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE. THE AIRPLANE VEERED OFF RUNWAY 21 TO THE RIGHT, DESCENDED A SHORT EMBANKMENT, AND CROSSED A SWALE. THE RIGHT WING TIP CONTACTED A TREE AND ROTATED THE AIRPLANE 30 TO 40 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT. THE FUSELAGE, RIGHT MAIN GEAR, AND THE RIGHT WING TIP WERE SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED. THE PILOT FURTHER STATED THAT THE EMBANKMENT AND SWALE WAS STEEP AND ABRUPT, AND THAT HE EXPECTED THE AIRPLANE TO NOSE OVER. THE PILOT ALSO REPORTED A MODERATE CROSSWIND FROM THE LEFT WHEN HE EXITED THE AIRPLANE.
