Accident Overview
An aircraft experienced a landing accident when the pilot allowed the aircraft to become 'low and slow' during a normal approach to the runway. The aircraft impacted the ground on a slight uphill slope approximately 10 feet before the approach end of the runway. As it continued onto the runway, it damaged several runway lights.
Pilot Actions
In response to the impact, the pilot deliberately veered the aircraft off the right side of the runway in an attempt to 'reduce the possibility of fire.' The aircraft came to rest with both main landing gear collapsed, approximately 40 feet from the runway edge.
Aircraft Condition
The aircraft sustained damage to its landing gear and likely other components, though no further specifics are provided. The pilot did not report any injuries or fatalities.
Investigation Findings
The pilot's statement indicates that the accident occurred due to his allowance of the aircraft to get low and slow during the approach sequence. No additional causal factors were identified in the source material.
