During the landing roll, he maneuvered the airplane to avoid a mudhole on the runway. As the pilot realigned the airplane back to runway centerline, he noted that the airplane was traveling too fast as it approached the departure end of the runway. The airplane departed the end of the runway, impacted the departure end runway’s rock boundary markers, and came to rest inverted. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N2299C](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N2299C), registered now, S/N 52334, built 1959 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: CESSNA 182B - Registry model: [Cessna 182B](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182b) (registry code 2072706) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Continental O-470 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-o-470-series) (registry code 17026, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 52334 - Year built: 1959 - Airframe hours: 4000 - Engines: Continental O-470-L 230 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, January 5, 2023, 60 hours before - Departed: BOI, Boise, ID - Destination: Same as departure - Airport: D47, Cougar Ranch, runway 02/20, 1,400 × 20 ft, grass/turf - Equipment: Auto-pilot, Angle of attack indicator, ADS-B, Stall warning system ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
