What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On August 28, 2015, at approximately 1000 local time, a Piper PA-24-250 comanche, N5498P, ran off the runway and into an adjacent cornfield at Fairplains Airpark (02MI). There were no injuries to pilot and passengers. The aircraft operated under the provisions of 14 code of federal regulations part 91 as a personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed or required. The incident occurred when the pilot's approach to land was too high and fast. The 2000' grass strip was wet with morning dew. The pilot landed long and chose not to perform a go around because of tall trees at the end of the runway. The pilot instead steered the aircraft to avoid the trees and into an adjacent cornfield. Investigation of pilot is ongoing. This report may be amended at a future date.
