Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Columbiaville, Michigan 48421
Monday, April 12, 2010 11:30 EDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot reported that he landed approximately a third of the way down the runway. He said that as he applied the brakes near the turnabout area at the south end of the runway, he discovered that he couldn't stop. The airplane subsequently went down an embankment, struck terrain, and sustained substantial damage. Postaccident examination of the wreckage revealed that the brake master cylinder piston rod's clevis had separated. An NTSB materials laboratory examination indicated that the separation was consistent with bending forces associated with the accident and no preexisting anomalies were detected.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot misjudged his speed and distance while landing, which resulted in an overrun and subsequent collision with terrain.
