# NTSB ATL05CA124: Cessna 182P, N9133M, Lanett, AL, July 2, 2005 - Type: NTSB accident investigation - Classification: Accident · No injuries · Data collection · Final report - Date: July 2, 2005, 14:00 local (19:00 UTC) - Place: Lanett, AL - Coordinates: 32.819999, -85.238052 - Nearby events: https://openairdocs.org/map.md?lat=32.8200&lon=-85.2381&mi=10 - Phase of flight: [Landing](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-phases/550) (OpenAirDocs' grouping) - Highest injury: No injuries - Injuries: 2 uninjured - Status: Completed, report October 27, 2005 - Report: Approved by Office Director - Parties: Birmingham FSDO - NTSB case key (mKey): 62033 - NTSB case page: https://web.ntsb.gov/investigations/?ntsbnumber=ATL05CA124 - NTSB report (PDF, downloads): https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/62033/pdf - Page: https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ATL05CA124 ## Probable cause The pilot's misjudgment of speed and distance, and his failure to do a go around. A factor was the wet runway. ## Sequence of events In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf). - Overrun, landing - distance/speed - misjudged, pilot in command (cause) - go-around - not performed, pilot in command (cause) - On ground/water collision with object, landing - terrain condition - ground - airport facilities,runway/landing area condition - wet (contributing factor) ## Analysis Upon arriving at the destination airport the pilot canceled the instrument flight plan and proceeded to execute a visual approach to land on runway 8. The pilot stated that his final approach profile was "too high" and the airplane crossed the threshold about 200 feet at 80 knots. The airplane touched down on the runway about 1000 feet from the departure end. Efforts to stop the airplane by the pilot failed, and the airplane rolled off the departure end of the runway and collided with an embankment. No mechanical problems were reported by the pilot. ## Factual narrative On June 19, 2005, approximately 1400 central daylight time, a Cessna 182P airplane, N9133M, registered to and operated by an instrument pilot, collided with the ground at Lanett Municipal Airport, in Lanett, Alabama. The personal flight was operated under the provisions of Title 14 CFR Part 91 with an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan filed. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed. The instrument pilot and his passenger received no injuries, and the airplane sustained substantial damage. The flight departed DeKalb-Peachtree Airport, Atlanta, Georgia , at approximately 1400 eastern daylight time. The pilot was in the process of completing a routine cross country flight from Atlanta, Georgia, to Lanett, Alabama, when the pilot canceled his instrument flight rules (IFR) clearance upon seeing Lanett airport. The pilot entered left traffic and proceeded to execute a visual approach for runway 8. He entered a left downwind for runway 8 and upon making a left turn to final, the pilot stated that his approach profile was "too high". The pilot stated the airplane crossed the threshold at about 200 feet and 80 knots. The airplane proceeded to fly down the remainder of runway touching down with 1,000 feet of runway remaining. On landing the pilot applied brakes and attempted to stop the airplane on the wet runway. The airplane began to skid and failed to stop subsequently the airplane overran the end of the runway 8 and the traveled down an embankment. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions with the aircraft. Post-accident examination revealed that control surfaces were intact, the nose gear was detached from the airplane, and the airplane was resting in a patch of bushes. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N9133M](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N9133M), registered now, S/N 18264693, built 1976 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: Cessna 182P - Registry model: [Cessna 182P](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182p) (registry code 2075816) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Continental O-470 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-o-470-series) (registry code 17026, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 18269693 - Airframe hours: 3055 - Engines: Continental O-470 230 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Registered owner: Ezra Jones - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, September 1, 2004, 41 hours before - Departed: PDK, Dekalb, GA - Destination: 7A3, Lanett, AL - Flight plan: IFR - Airport: 7A3, Lanett Municipal Airport, runway 8, 3,148 × 80 ft, water ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.

Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong.
