## Narrative

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

N8529P DEPARTED STAN STAMPER MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (KHHW) AT APPROXIMATELY 10:05 A.M. ON JUNE 6, 2019 FOLLOWING A FUEL AND REST STOP ON A TRIP DESTINED FOR HANOVER COUNTY MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (KOFP). WEATHER REPORTS WHILE AT KOFP WERE INTERPRETED AS HAVING AN ACCEPTABLE CORRIDOR FOR THE PLANNED FLIGHT, WITH A POTENTIAL NEED FOR A NORTHERLY DEVIATION AS WEATHER DEVELOPED. AFTER DEPARTURE, N8529P REQUESTED FLIGHT FOLLOWING AND WAS ADVISED OF PRECIPITATION AHEAD AND MADE THE DECISION TO LAND AND WAIT FOR WEATHER. AFTER OBTAINING VISUAL CONTACT WITH THE GROUND NEAR SALLY WOFFORD AIRPORT (K8M2), PILOT DESCENDED TO PATTERN ALTITUDE AND FLEW OVER THE RUNWAY AND NOTED AN AIRCRAFT PARKED AT THE APPROACH END OF THE RUNWAY.  RATHER THAN HAVE TO CLEAR THE OTHER AIRCRAFT,  PILOT DECIDED TO LAND IN THE OTHER DIRECTION DESPITE HAVING AN APPROXIMATE 15 MPH TAILWIND; AND MISSED THE FIRST APPROACH DUE TO BEING SLIGHTLY HIGH.  K8M2'S AIRPORT MANAGER OBSERVED N8529'S SITUATION AND TOOK ACTION TO MOVE THE OTHER AIRCRAFT THAT WAS BEING SERVICED AT THE END OF RUNWAY. ON THE SECOND APPROACH, N8529P LANDED, APPLIED HEAVY BRAKING, AND EXPERIENCED SKIDDING CAUSING THE PLANE TO VEER FROM THE CENTERLINE OF THE RUNWAY.  IN ORDER TO REGAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL, PILOT REDUCED BRAKING AND WAS UNABLE TO BRING THE AIRCRAFT TO A COMPLETE STOP PRIOR TO THE END OF THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT'S FLAPS WERE FULLY RETRACTED, THE LEFT WING LEADING EDGE SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE AFTER STRIKING A METAL POLE UPON EXITING THE RUNWAY, AND THE GEAR COLLAPSED AS IT CROSSED A DITCH AND LEVEE ENTERING A RICE FIELD.
