Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
White Plains, New York 10601
Wednesday, June 21, 2006 17:06 EDT
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
According to the pilot, he was "too high" during final approach to the runway, so he initiated a slip to lose altitude. As the airplane touched down, the pilot "flared and tried to bleed off airspeed"; however, the airplane "ran out of runway," continued into the grass and impacted a fence. The pilot reported approximately 35 hours of total flight experience. Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed no mechanical deficiencies.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
The pilot's misjudged speed/distance which resulted in an overrun.
