## Narrative

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

ON NOVEMBER 30, 2014, ABOUT 1640 CENTRAL STANDARD TIME, THE PILOT OF A PIPER ARROW PA-28, N533MC, DEPARTED THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND STRUCK A TAXIWAY MARKER DURING LANDING ON RUNWAY 15 AT ADDISON AIRPORT, ADDISON, TEXAS. THE PILOT AND THREE PASSENGERS WERE NOT INJURED. THE AIRPLANE SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT WING, LANDING GEAR, AND FIREWALL. THE AIRPLANE WAS OPERATED BY THE PILOT AS A PERSONAL FLIGHT UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF 14 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS PART 91. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, AND NO FLIGHT PLAN HAD BEEN FILED. THE PILOT FLEW THE AIRCRAFT FROM ADDISON AIRPORT (ADS) TO OMAHA NEBRASKA (OMA) THEN BACK TO ADDISON (ADS). WINDS AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT WERE 190 AT 13 KNOTS GUSTING TO 22. THE PILOT REPORTED SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT ON THE RETURN FLIGHT. THE PILOT WAS ABLE TO EVACUATE THE SMOKE BY OPENING THE SIDE WINDOW VENT. THE PILOT ALSO OBSERVED A FLICKERING OIL PRESSURE LIGHT. ALL OTHER ENGINE INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL.

## 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.
