## Narrative

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

(-23) WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LAND ON RWY 02 AT MONROE MUNI (EFT), IN MONROE, WI, THE PILOT FLYING ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT.  THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE RUNWAY TO THE EAST, IMPACTED A SNOW BANK, FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN, AND SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE.  THE PILOTS WERE NOT INJURED.  BRAKING EVIDENCE AT THE SCENE INDICATES THAT THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN APPROXIMATELY 2000 FEET DOWN THE RUNWAY (RWY LENGTH IS 3000 FEET), WELL TO THE RIGHT OF CENTERLINE, AND ANGLING TOWARD THE NORTHEAST (APPROX 050 DEGREES).  WINDS AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT WERE OUT OF THE WEST/SOUTHWEST AT 10 KTS GUSTING TO 17-20 KTS.  BOTH PILOTS ACKNOWLEDGE THE AIRCRAFT LANDED LONG AFTER BALLOONING.  THERE IS NOT EVIDENCE IN THE STATEMENTS OF BOTH PILOTS THAT ANY DISCUSSION WAS MADE AS TO PRUDENCE OF MAKING A GO-AROUND.  ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ STATED THAT, AFTER TOUCHING DOWN, HE DECIDED TO MAKE A FULL STOP LANDING INSTEAD OF A TOUCH AND GO LANDING DUE TO THE EXTREMELY LONG TOUCHDOWN POINT.  ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ INDICATED THAT HE HAD ONLY FLOWN 10 HOURS IN THIS TYPE AIRCRAFT DURING THE PAST 6 MONTHS.  HE DIDN'T HAVE RECENT EXPERIENCE IN THIS TYPE OF AIRCRAFT, ONLY THE MD-80 SERIES AT HIS AIRLINE.  ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ RENTED THE AIRCRAFT AND WAS THE QUALIFIED PIC.
