## Narrative

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

THE INCIDENT PILOT HAD SPENT THE EARLIER PART OF THE AFTERNOON DOING TOUCH-AND-GOES AT 3J1 AND HAD FILLED UP WITH 100 LL (196 GAL) AT 3J1. HE THEN RETURNED TO KHXD TO OFFLOAD HIS PASSENGER AND GOT HIS IPAD FOR PLATES TO DO APPROACHES. A DIFFERENT PASSENGER ACCOMPANIED THE INCIDENT FLIGHT.   THE PLAN WAS TO CONDUCT SEVERAL PRACTICE RNAV/ILS APPROACHES, AND THEY DEPARTED KHXD FOR KARW TO PRACTICE THE RNAV APPROACH TO RWY 25.  PILOT CLAIMS IT WAS A STABLE APPROACH WITH FULL FLAPS LOWERED AT 1000FT.   HE STATES HE WAS DOING AROUND 105 AT THE NUMBERS AND WHEN HE TOUCHED DOWN HE HAD ONE BOUNCE WHICH DID FLOAT FOR SEVERAL SECONDS.  WHEN ALL WHEELS WERE ON DECK, HE RAISED THE FLAPS AND USED AERODYNAMIC BRAKING ALONG WITH NORMAL WHEEL BRAKES.  HE DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANYTHING PROBLEMATIC WITH THE BREAKING EFFECTIVENESS.  HE SAYS THAT WHEN IT BECAME EVIDENT, HE DID HAVE ENOUGH RUNWAY TO SAFELY GET AIRBORNE FOR A GO-AROUND; HE MAXIMIZED FOOT AND AERODYNAMIC BRAKING, BUT STILL RAN OFF THE END INTO THE SAND.  THE NOSE WHEEL DID NOT COLLAPSE.  AT THE LAST 2-3 FEET OF THE ROLL, THE NOSE WHEEL SANK ABOUT 2 FEET INTO THE SOFT SAND.  THE PILOT AND MINOR PASSENGER SAFELY EVACUATED THE AIRCRAFT AS HELP ARRIVED.  THE AIRPORT MANAGER WAS NOTIFIED AND SUBSEQUENTLY NOTIFIED NTSB/FAA. PHOTOS OBTAINED AND SHARED WITH THE NTSB AND FAA.  THE PLANE WAS CLEARED TO BE TOWED BACKWARDS FROM THE SAND, AND THE GEAR WAS INTACT.  NO OBVIOUS STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.  THE NEXT DAY, WITH NTSB PERMISSION, THE PILOT WASHED THE MUD OFF AND STILL FOUND NO OBVIOUS DAMAGE TO THE GEAR, PROP, OR GEAR DOOR.   HOWEVER, BOTH LEFT- AND RIGHT-PROP IMPACTS WERE EVIDENT IN THE PICTURES. THERE WAS NO PROPERTY DAMAGE TO RUNWAY LIGHTS.

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.
