Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
Cumberland Isla, Georgia 31522
Saturday, January 30, 1982 15:10 EST
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
THE 2500 FT RUNWAY HAD TREES ON 3 SIDES. THE NORMAL PATTERN FOR LANDING WAS FROM EAST TO WEST AND DEPARTURES WERE NORMALLY FROM WEST TO EAST. A LONG, SHALLOW, TAILWIND APPROACH WAS MADE FROM THE EAST AT ABOUT 65 KNOTS. THE PILOT USED 40 DEGREES OF FLAPS AND MAINTAINED ABOUT 1400 TO 1500 RPM UNTIL AFTER LANDING. IMMEDIATELY, HE REALIZED HE HAD TOO MUCH SPEED AND CHOPPED HIS POWER. THE AIRCRAFT HIT A DIP AND LIFTED OFF THE RUNWAY. BY THIS TIME, THE PILOT WAS COMMITTED TO THE LANDING, BUT WAS UNABLE TO STOP ON THE RUNWAY. HE CONTINUED OFF THE RUNWAY AND COLLIDED WITH TREES. THE PROCEDURE FOR A SHORT FIELD LANDING WITH FULL FLAPS (40 DEGREES) IS TO HOLD 60 KNOTS UNTIL THE FLARE, REDUCE POWER TO IDLE AFTER CLEARING OBSTACLES, TOUCH DOWN ON MAIN WHEELS FIRST, APPLY HEAVY BRAKES, AND RETRACT THE FLAPS.
