After touchdown, he was unable to stop the airplane prior to reaching the runway end. As the airplane overran the runway it impacted a log that had been placed there to prevent automotive traffic from entering the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left horizontal stabilizer and fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that could have precluded normal operation. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N9007T](https://openairdocs.org/deregistered/N9007T-2022-04-25), registration cancelled 2022-04-25, S/N 52907, built 1960 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: CESSNA 182C - Registry model: [Cessna 182C](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182c) (registry code 2072708) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Continental O-470 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-o-470-series) (registry code 17026, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 52907 - Year built: 1960 - Airframe hours: 3954.1 - Engines: Continental Motors O470L 230 hp reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, September 22, 2020, 734 hours before - Departed: SZT, Sandpoint, ID - Destination: Same as departure - Airport: S77, Magee, runway 01/19, 2,200 × 150 ft, grass/turf - Equipment: ADS-B, Angle of attack indicator, Handheld GPS, Stall warning system ## 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.
