What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On July 18, 2019, N323SR, a Cirrus SR-22, operated by corner stone aviation LLC (6SKA) conducted a flight under 14 c.f.r. § 135 from general edward lawrence logan international airport (bos) to block island state (bid) airport with one passenger. The flight departed bos at approximately 15:31 LCL under instrument flight rule (IFR) and an IFR flight plan was filed.
Before departure from bos, the pilot was watching the weather at bid. The pilot noted that a thunderstorm was moving slowly on the west side of the airport prior to departure from bos. The pilot was hoping that the weather on the west end of the field would pushout prior to his arrival. The pilot stated that when he initially got the automated weather at bid, he knew the performance would not work out to land on runway 28 due to a 10-knot tail wind. The pilot also knew that he could not conduct an approach to runway 10 at bid due to the thunderstorm located over the approach path.
The pilot attempted to get the weather one more time to see if runway 28 could be utilized. According to the pilot, the wind on the next automated weather report only reported about a six knot tail wind. The pilot stated that ?landing distance data was calculated in my head and based on prior experience I knew I had the performance needed to land at bid.?
The pilot conducted two GPS approaches to runway 28 at bid. On the first approach, the pilot stated that he was high and fast and elected to conduct a missed approach. ATC vectored the pilot away from the storm cell located west of bid. The pilot stated that his second approach was stabilized and as the runway came into view, the pilot noted a flock of birds sitting at the beginning of runway 28, which was the intended touchdown point. The pilot stated the aircraft touched down at approximately the first taxiway. The pilot stated that breaking action was nil due to the water on the runway.
The aircraft overran the end of runway 28 at bid by approximately 240 feet and was able to taxi back to the ramp under its own power. When the aircraft shut down, the pilot deplaned the passenger and came back to evaluate the aircraft for damage. Minor damage was noted the wheel pants of the aircraft.
