Ramshorn Id,137 Airport
Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Salmon, Idaho 83638
Thursday, June 19, 2014 22:15 UTC

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot reported that during the approach to landing to a remote airstrip located within a canyon, the wind changed direction while he was on short final. The pilot had selected full flaps and performed a slip to descend to the approach end of the runway, however, the airplane touched down more than half way down the 1,300-foot long dirt runway. The airplane subsequently overran the departure end of the runway and nosed over, which resulted in substantial damage to the wings and fuselage. The pilot added that there was no possibility of a go-around due to the airstrip's location in the canyon. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's failure to attain the proper touchdown point that resulted in a runway overrun.
