Yamhill, Oregon 97148
Saturday, October 9, 1993 18:15 PDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

THE PILOT REPORTED THAT A NORMAL APPROACH TO THE AIRSTRIP WAS PERFORMED AND TOUCHDOWN WAS NEAR THE APPROACH END. MAXIMUM BRAKING WAS USED TO SLOW THE AIRPLANE; HOWEVER, THE AIRPLANE DID NOT COME TO A STOP BEFORE IT RAN OFF THE AIRSTRIP AND COLLIDED WITH A FENCE. WITNESSES STATED THAT THE AIRPLANE LANDED APPROXIMATELY MID-FIELD AND DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO STOP BEFORE RUNNING OFF THE END OF THE AIRSTRIP.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

THE PILOT FAILED TO ATTAIN THE PROPER TOUCHDOWN POINT. THE TAILWIND WAS A FACTOR.
