  • National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Final Report
    National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Final Report Location: West Chester, PA Accident Number: NYC08FA261 Date & Time: 07/30/2008, 1830 EDT Registration: N333MY Aircraft: Eclipse Aviation Corporation EA500 Aircraft Damage: Substantial Defining Event: Landing area overshoot Injuries: 2 None Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal Analysis During landing at its home airport, the airplane overran the runway and traveled down a 40- foot embankment before coming to rest against trees and sustaining substantial damage. According to the pilot, his speed on approach was a little fast but he thought it was manageable. Recorded data from the accident airplane revealed that 20 seconds before touchdown, when the pilot selected flaps 30 (landing flaps) the airspeed was approximately 27 knots above the maximum flap extension speed, and as the airplane touched down its airspeed was approximately 14 knots higher than specified for landing. The runway had a displaced threshold with 3,097 feet of runway length available. Skid marks from the accident airplane began approximately 868 feet beyond the displaced threshold, and continued for about 2,229 feet until they left the paved portion of the runway. Probable Cause and Findings The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: The pilot's failure to obtain the proper touchdown point, and his excessive airspeed on approach. Findings Aircraft Airspeed - Not attained/maintained (Cause) Personnel issues Aircraft control - Pilot (Cause) Incorrect action performance - Pilot (Cause) Page 1 of 9 Factual Information HISTORY OF FLIGHT On July 30, 2008, about 1832 eastern daylight time, an Eclipse Aviation Corporation EA500, N333MY, sustained substantial damage during a runway overrun while landing at Brandywine Airport (OQN), West Chester, Pennsylvania.
