Probable cause
the pilot's use of an excessive airspeed on final approach, the failure to attain the proper touchdown point on the runway, and, the failure to initiate a go around when it became clear that the aircraft would excessively overshoot the intended touchdown point.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
Ground witnesses reported that the airplane was high and fast on final and touched down about 1,400 feet from the end of the 2,400 foot long runway 15. The airplane overran the departure end of the runway, traveled down a shallow embankment, and collided with a berm.
Factual narrative
On October 30, 1993, at 1715 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 182P, N1085M, collided with ground obstructions during a landing overrun at the Benton airport, Redding, California. The aircraft was owned and operated by Hillside Aviation, Inc., of Redding, California, and was rented by the pilot for a personal cross country flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed for the operation. The aircraft incurred substantial damage. Neither the certificated private pilot nor her three passengers were injured. The flight originated from Paradise, California, on the day of the mishap at about 1645 hours.
