Rough uneven terrain was a factor. ## 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) - Nose over, landing - roll - terrain condition - rough/uneven (contributing factor) ## Analysis The pilot reported that he "encountered some updraft on short final and wind shear below tree level approaching [the] touchdown end of airstrip." He reported that the airplane touched down approximately 1/3 of the way down the grass/gravel runway and that he experienced "poor" braking and traction. The pilot reported that the airplane continued to slow; however, eventually overran the end of the runway. After exiting the runway, the airplane encountered rough uneven terrain and nosed over. ## Factual narrative On June 25, 2006, approximately 1425 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 182K, N2476Q, sustained substantial damage following a runway overrun and subsequent nose over at the Center Island Airport, Center Island, Washington.
