Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
Versailles, Missouri 65084
Monday, September 22, 2003 11:00 CDT
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
The airplane received substantial damage when it nosed over during an overrun landing. The pilot reported his approach was higher than normal due to trees at the end of runway 7 (2,805 feet by 39 feet) and his airspeed was too fast. He stated the runway was wet and the airplane skidded when he applied brakes after touching down. He released the brakes to straighten the airplane heading, then he reapplied the brakes. He reported the airplane traveled off the end of the runway into the wet grass. The airplane continued across an airport service road and into a ditch. The nose gear collapsed upon contacting the ditch and the airplane nosed over. The Airport Facility Directory notes trees as an obstruction for runway 7 at 3VS. The website AirNav.com states there are 23 foot tall trees 225 feet from the approach end of runway 7, and 40 feet right of the runway centerline. It also states 1 to 18 foot tall brush and trees are present 100 to 200 feet from the approach end of the runway.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
The pilot touched down with excessive airspeed. Factors associated with the accident were the trees, the wet runway, the wet grass that the airplane traveled onto, and the ditch which the airplane contacted.
