During the landing on the 1,700-ft-long turf runway, the airplane floated and landed about 566 ft down the runway. He applied the brakes but was unable to stop. The airplane exited the runway, traversed across a road and impacted a swale before coming to rest in a grassy area about 175 ft from the departure end of the runway. The airplane’s fuselage sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. He further stated that a better understanding of short field operations could have prevented the accident. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N7529N](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N7529N), registered now, S/N 18263232 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: CESSNA 182 (P) - 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: 18263232 - Year built: 1974 - Airframe hours: 5002 - Engines: TCM O-470-R 230 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, April 26, 2024, 17 hours before - Departed: DXR, Danbury, CT - Destination: Same as departure - Airport: NY03, Klenawicus Airfield, runway 02, 1,700 × 200 ft, grass/turf - Equipment: Auto-pilot, ADS-B, Stall warning system, Handheld GPS, Electronic flight bag or handheld device ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
