He stepped on the brakes and airplane began to slide. The pilot realized that he was not going to be able to stop the airplane on the remaining runway and subsequently added full power to go around. The airplane traveled off the runway and impacted a levee, which resulted in a collapsed nosewheel and damaged propeller. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation. ## Factual narrative The private pilot reported that the airplane was a little fast on the approach and he landed with only a quarter of the runway remaining. He stepped on the brakes and the single-engine airplane began to slide. The pilot realized that he was not going to be able to stop the airplane and added full power to go-around. The airplane traveled off the runway and impacted a levee which resulted in substantial damage to the airplane. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical failures with the airplane prior to the accident. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N125HS](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N125HS), registered now, S/N 21093C, built 2007 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: MAULE MXT-7-180A - Registry model: [Maule MXT-7-180A](https://openairdocs.org/model/maule-mxt-7-180a) (registry code 5460187) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Lycoming O-360-C4F](https://openairdocs.org/engine/lycoming-o-360-c4f) (registry code 42290, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 21093C - Engines: LYCOMING O-360-C4F 180 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Operator: Henderson State University - Registered owner: Henderson State University - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Departed: Selfs, MS - Destination: M73, Almyra, AR - Flight plan: VFR - Airport: M73, Almyra, runway 18 ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
