What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On August 15, 2019, at approximately 1537 eastern daylight time a Cessna 680A registration marking of N8JR, overran runway 24 at Elizabethton Municipal Airport (0A9) which is located in Elizabethton, Tennessee.
The pilot in command sustained a minor scrape to his head and the co-pilot escaped injuries. One passenger received minor back strain.
The airplane received substantial damage and caught fire which caused the aircraft to be destroyed.
The airplane was registered to jrm air LLC and operated in accordance with FAR sub-part 91 personal flight.
Day visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The flight originated at the statesville regional airport (svh) located in statesville, NC and departed at approximately 1520.
The pilots stated the initial touchdown caused the aircraft to bounce. They attempted to salvage the landing but the aircraft bounced again, at some point in this attempt the pilots stated they deployed thrust reversers, the flight data recorder did not show activation of reversers. Though continuation of landing attempts included thrust reversers, (flight data recorder shows no indication of thrust reversers being deployed) full throttle was applied but pilots stated the aircraft would not go. They nose the aircraft over and forced the aircraft on the runway, this resulted in damage to right main landing gear. The aircraft tracked the center line of the runway and upon reaching the grass runoff the aircraft veered right. The aircraft continued at 70KTS striking the airport fencing, over a ditch, and ended up on the side of a highway.
