Incident Details
The incident occurred when a pilot was landing at a destination airport featuring a grass runway. Upon entering the traffic pattern, the pilot engaged in a discussion with his two passengers, both of whom were pilot-rated, to ascertain the precise location of the approach end of the grass runway. All three individuals reached a consensus, identifying a point just south of an intersecting asphalt runway as the intended touchdown zone. The pilot subsequently configured the aircraft for landing and initiated the approach in alignment with that determination.
The pilot reported that the aircraft made contact with the runway at the intended point. However, he found himself unable to bring the aircraft to a stop within the confines of the runway. The aircraft continued beyond the departure end of the runway, rolling down an embankment prior to impacting a fence. The aircraft came to rest following the collision with the fence.
No additional information regarding the aircraft make or model, registration markings, exact date, operating entity, or specific location was included in the pilot's report. Furthermore, the report did not address the condition of the aircraft or the well-being of the occupants beyond the occurrence of the collision. The pilot's statement served as the sole source of information for this account.
