Incident Overview
An aircraft overran the departure end of the runway during landing, proceeded through a fence, and came to rest on a street. Tower personnel observed that the aircraft touched down faster than normal, approximately halfway down the runway, and bounced several times before exiting the runway and striking the fence.
Pilot's Report
The pilot stated that he found a shoe under the brake on the passenger side of the aircraft. However, investigation noted that the left and right brake systems are independent of each other, rendering this explanation invalid. There were no indications that one brake was less effective than the other.
Witness Observation
A witness reported hearing the aircraft's tires squealing when the aircraft was approximately 500 feet from the end of the runway.
Investigation Notes
The investigation did not identify any mechanical anomalies with the braking system. The pilot's account regarding the shoe was not supported by the design of the independent brake systems.
