What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot was flying in the airport traffic pattern and was landing on a 3,000-FT-long turf runway. The pilot stated that he “landed long” and that the airplane subsequently overran the departure end of the runway. The airplane’s wings, fuselage, and empennage were substantially damaged during the runway overrun. The pilot reported that there were not preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that would have precluded a normal operation.
