Aviation safety reports, made easier to study

NTSB Reports is an independent research and search tool for public aviation accident and incident records. It brings NTSB aviation reports, structured fields, docket files, extracted figures, photos, videos, and update history into one searchable interface.

The goal is practical safety education: make it faster to find relevant investigations, compare similar events, review factual records, and understand the evidence behind probable-cause and preliminary reports.

The investigative work and source records belong to the National Transportation Safety Board and the published investigation record. This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NTSB.

During landing on a 2,942 foot-long by 40 foot-wide runway, the pilot landed long. The airplane overran the runway, struck an embankment and was substantially damaged. Examination of the airplane did not reveal any preimpact failures or malfunctions.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to obtain the proper touchdown point during landing which resulted in a runway overrun. A factor was the pilot's misjudgment of speed/distance during the approach.

Full Narrative

On September 5, 2005, at 1625 eastern daylight time, a Cirrus Design Corporation SR22, N209SL, was substantially damaged during a runway overrun at Lincoln Park Airport (N07), Lincoln Park, New Jersey. The certificated private pilot was not injured, and one of the two passengers received minor injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the personal flight which departed the Rutland State Airport (RUT), Rutland, Vermont, and conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. The airplane was landing on runway 01, a 2,942-foot long by 40-foot wide asphalt runway. A pilot rated witness heard the radio transmissions from the accident airplane asking a pilot to confirm that he was clear of the runway as, "I land long." The witness also stated that, he watched the accident airplane descend on his final approach path to the point where his view was obscured by a hangar complex. After a few moments passed, the airplane came into view, and appeared to be in the "flare" portion of the landing, with the wheels not yet on the runway. As the wheels came into contact with the pavement, there was a "large puff of smoke and tire screeching could be heard." It next appeared to the witness, that the pilot applied "full throttle," and departed the pavement on the west side of the runway. The pilot then seemed to regain control while in the grass, then collided with an embankment, did a partial "cartwheel," and came to rest with the tail section in the air. An examination of the accident site and airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector revealed that skid marks were present beginning 703 feet from the departure end of runway 01 and that the airplane came to rest on a public road 137 feet to the left of the runway centerline, and had incurred substantial damage. According to an FAA inspector, during an interview conducted on September 7, 2005 the pilot stated that he "guessed he landed too far down the runway."
