On April 4, 1992, a Cessna 172M (registration N9568V) operated by Cory, Fred E. was involved in an aviation accident near Osage Beach, MO. Investigators recorded the probable cause as: The pilot's failure to maintain control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway overrun. This summary draws on records from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) historical archive.
An aircraft landed long and overran the runway into mud, sustaining substantial damage during the incident.
What happened
During the landing phase of flight, the airplane departed the end of the runway and sustained substantial damage while overrunning. The pilot reported that he touched down beyond the normal touchdown zone, which resulted in the aircraft running off the end of the paved surface into muddy terrain.
The investigation
A technical examination of the accident airplane's braking system was conducted to determine if equipment failure contributed to the incident. This inspection failed to reveal any mechanical malfunction within the braking components.
Findings
The primary factor in this event was the pilot's decision or execution resulting in a long landing. The absence of mechanical issues with the brakes indicates that the overrun was due to insufficient runway remaining after touchdown rather than brake failure.
Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway overrun.
