Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina 27526
Wednesday, April 28, 2010 15:30 EDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot stated that as he turned the airplane onto final for runway 14, the winds shifted from a crosswind to a tailwind. At touchdown, there were 1,800 feet remaining of the 2,780-foot runway. The airplane skidded on the grass, overran the runway end, and collided with a shallow ditch. The nearest weather reporting station, 10 nautical miles away, reported that at the time of the accident, winds were variable at 9 knots, gusting to 12 knots. The pilot did not report any mechanical or flight control anomalies. Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that the fuselage was buckled, and no flight control anomalies were noted during the examination

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's improper decision to land with a tailwind resulting in an overrun.
