HE REPORTED THAT HE LANDED LONG AND THAT HE FELT THE GRASS HAD MORNING DEW WHICH WOULD MAKE IT SLICK AND THEREFORE HE COULD NOT RELY ON HIS BRAKES.  HE BEGAN LOSING CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT AND DECIDED AGAINST GOING AROUND DUE TO POWER LINES BEING PRESENT AT THE NORTH END OF THE FIELD.

## 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.

- [NTSB ERA13CA231](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA13CA231), May 4, 2013: Cessna 182G (N2143R), Arcadia, NY, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's improper decision to continue a high approach with a tailwind, rather than perform a go-around, which resulted in an overrun on a wet, down-sloping, grassy runway.

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.
