Cook Airfield Airport
Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Rose Hill, Kansas 67037
Sunday, October 17, 2010 8:35 CDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

According to the pilot, he was landing with light wind. He performed a go-around on the first attempt because the airspeed was too high. On the second attempt, the pilot determined that his airspeed was still a little too high and the airplane floated past his intended landing point. The pilot then applied brakes, but was not able to stop on the remaining runway. The airplane departed the end of the runway and the landing gear sheared, resulting in substantial damage to the wings and firewall. The pilot reported no preimpact malfunctions with the airplane and a postaccident examination revealed no mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's improper touchdown point during landing, which resulted in a runway overrun.
