## Narrative

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

THE AIRLINE TRANSPORT RATED PILOT WAS UNABLE TO STOP HIS HIGH WING CONVENTIONAL LANDING GEAR AIRPLANE WHILE LANDING ON A 2500 FOOT GRASS PRIVATE RUNWAY.   THE SKY CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND WINDS WERE OUT OF THE EAST AT 8 KNOTS FOR THE LANDING ON RUNWAY 16.

THE PILOT REPORTED A FINAL APPROACH SPEED OF VREF +10 TO A THREE POINT LANDING.  THE AIRCRAFT FLOATED MORE THAN EXPECTED DURING THE LANDING.   THE PILOT DID NOT REALIZE HE WAS RUNNING OUT OF RUNWAY DUE THE LIMITED FORWARD VISIBILITY IN THE CONVENTIONAL LANDING GEAR AIRCRAFT.  THE MAIN LANDING GEAR DROPPED INTO A SHALLOW DITCH AT THE END OF THE AIRSTRIP AND THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE ADJACENT ROADWAY.

THE AIRCRAFT REMAINED UPRIGHT AND THE PILOT SUSTAINED NO INJURIES.  THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLIES AND PROPELLER.

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. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
