Taney County Airport
Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Point Lookout, Missouri 65672
Saturday, September 25, 2010 10:00 CDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

According to the pilot receiving instruction, the purpose of the flight was for her to brush up her techniques with the certificated flight instructor since it had been about two months since she had flown. While practicing a spot landing, where she aimed for a particular touchdown point, the airplane landed long and overran the end of the runway. The airplane came to rest upright in a ditch adjacent to the airport property. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed the firewall was buckled. The pilot receiving instruction stated that the airplane had no preimpact mechanical problems.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot receiving instruction's failure to attain the proper touchdown point and execute a go-around and the CFI’s delayed remedial action, which resulted in a runway overrun.
