# NTSB LAX04CA105: Beech B36TC, N321JT, San Diego, CA, January 23, 2004 - Type: NTSB accident investigation - Classification: Accident · No injuries · Data collection · Final report - Date: January 22, 2004, 16:15 local (Jan 23, 2004, 00:15 UTC) - Place: San Diego, CA - Coordinates: 32.815555, -117.139442 - Nearby events: https://openairdocs.org/map.md?lat=32.8156&lon=-117.1394&mi=10 - Phase of flight: [Landing](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-phases/550) (OpenAirDocs' grouping) - Highest injury: No injuries - Injuries: 1 uninjured - Status: Completed, report April 28, 2004 - Report: Approved by Office Director - Parties: Federal Aviation Administration - NTSB case key (mKey): 58664 - NTSB case page: https://web.ntsb.gov/investigations/?ntsbnumber=LAX04CA105 - NTSB report (PDF, downloads): https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/58664/pdf - Page: https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX04CA105 ## Probable cause the pilot's misjudged speed and altitude, which led to a failure to attain the proper touchdown point and a subsequent runway overrun. Also causal was the pilot's delayed decision to perform a go-around. ## Sequence of events In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf). - Overrun, landing - roll - proper touchdown point - not attained, pilot in command (cause) - distance/speed - misjudged, pilot in command (cause) - go-around - delayed, pilot in command (cause) - On ground/water collision with object, landing - roll - object - approach light/navaid - On ground/water encounter with terrain/water, landing - roll - terrain condition - ditch - terrain condition - muddy ## Analysis The airplane overran the runway, and collided with runway end identifier lighting and a ditch during an attempted go-around. The airplane landed long, and the pilot applied brakes upon touchdown. The left main tire blew out and the pilot attempted a go-around. The airplane overran the runway and veered to the left, resulting in the left wing colliding with a runway end identifier light. The airplane continued to the left and encountered a ditch filled with soft mud. The pilot did not report any mechanical problems with the airplane prior to the accident. ## Factual narrative On January 22, 2004, about 1615 Pacific standard time, a Beech B36TC, N321JT, overran the runway during the landing roll at Montgomery Field Airport (MYF), San Diego, California. JLR Creative Enterprises owned and operated the airplane under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The commercial pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured; the airplane sustained substantial damage. The personal cross-country flight departed the Big Bear City Airport (L35), Big Bear City, California, about 1530, with San Diego as the final destination. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan had been filed. In a written statement, the pilot reported that she was cleared for the instrument landing system (ILS) approach to MYF, circle to land runway 10R. The airplane landed long and she applied brakes upon touchdown. The left main tire blew out and she attempted a go-around. The airplane overran the runway and veered to the left, resulting in the left wing colliding with a runway end identifier light. The airplane continued to the left and encountered a ditch filled with soft mud. The pilot did not report any mechanical problems with the airplane prior to the accident. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N321JT](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N321JT), registered now, S/N EA-670, built 2001 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: Beech B36TC - Registry model: [Raytheon B36TC](https://openairdocs.org/model/raytheon-b36tc) (registry code 7150008) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Continental TSIO-520 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-tsio-520-series) (registry code 17040, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: EA-670 - Engines: Continental TSIO-520-UB reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Registered owner: JRL Creative Ent, Inc - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Utility - Departed: L35, Big Bear, CA - Destination: MYF, San Diego, CA - Flight plan: IFR - Airport: MYF, Montgomery Field Airport, runway 10 ## 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.
