From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

The PIC was conducting an IFR flight and departing from cape cod gateway (hya) to Wings Field (lom) with no issues observed during run-up, departure and en-route to lom.

Pilot performed an instrument approach, RNAV runway 24, into lom with light rain in the area.

Touchdown was normal, brakes were applied, but the aircraft was not decelerating and the aircraft went off the end of the runway and came to rest with the right wing over the road located approximately 20 yards from the runway. Right gear door and pitot tube on outboard right wing were damaged. Touchdown was confirmed normal for that airport, as the aircraft landed on the first third of the runway.

PIC stated that he was applying brakes and instrument panel showed normal indications but it didn't seem like the airplane was decelerating as it normally would.

During the investigation, the aircraft central maintenance computer data was reviewed, tire wear and brakes tested without any defects noted. The pilot interview also did not reveal any evidence that was contrary to the normal operations of the aircraft.

No mechanical issues were found with the aircraft and no evidence of pilot error to cause the event.
