Incident Overview
A Cessna 180 was conducting a touch-and-go landing on an airport runway measuring 2,100 feet in length. The touchdown point was reported to be beyond the first third of the runway. On board were two rated pilots and one passenger.
Sequence of Events
After touchdown, the co-pilot expressed concern that the aircraft would be unable to clear powerlines located at the departure end of the runway. In response, the co-pilot reduced engine power. The aircraft subsequently could not stop on the remaining runway surface, ran off the end of the runway, struck rocks, and flipped over.
