Accident Overview
The pilot of a single-engine airplane made three unsuccessful attempts to land on Runway 2. On the fourth landing, the airplane touched down long on the 2,300-foot grass runway, with approximately 500 feet of runway remaining. The pilot then attempted to go around with only 30 feet of runway left. During the go-around, the airplane stalled, impacted the ground, and exited onto a road.
Sequence of Events
According to a witness, the pilot landed long on the fourth attempt, with about 500 feet of runway remaining. The witness stated that the pilot tried to go around with 30 feet of runway left. The pilot reported that his last approach appeared satisfactory, with an airspeed of 70 knots, and he touched down one-quarter of the way down the runway. He then raised the flaps and applied the brakes, but the brakes locked and the airplane began to skid. The pilot attempted to go around but did not have enough airspeed. He raised the nose to clear terrain, at which point the airplane stalled, impacted the ground, and exited onto a road.
Pilot's Account
The pilot stated that there was no mechanical malfunction, and that the accident could have been prevented if he had aborted the landing and diverted to another airport with better conditions.
