What happened
The incident occurred during a landing phase under calm wind conditions. The aircraft continued beyond the end of the runway and subsequently struck a fence. Following the event, the pilot reported that he experienced difficulty lowering the flaps during the approach and noted that the brakes did not operate as expected upon touchdown.
The investigation
A subsequent mechanical inspection was conducted to verify the pilot's claims regarding system functionality. The examination revealed that both the brake system and the flap mechanisms operated normally, with no evidence of mechanical failure or malfunction detected during the post-incident check. The density altitude at the time of the accident was approximately 4700 feet.
Findings
The investigation determined that while the pilot reported operational issues with the flaps and brakes, these systems were functioning correctly upon inspection. The aircraft's inability to stop within the available runway distance resulted in the overrun and subsequent collision with the fence. No further mechanical causes were identified.
