Private Airstrip Overrun and Fence Penetration (N113JV)

Incident Overview and Runway Characteristics The pilot returned to his private airstrip and landed on the concrete runway but was unable to stop. The aircraft traveled off the end of the airstrip, passed through a fence, and came to rest at the pilot's house. The airstrip was located at approximately 1,000 feet mean sea level, measured 2,700 feet in length, and was oriented from east to west. The first 2,000 feet of the runway consisted of grass, while the remaining portion was concrete. The concrete section was contaminated with buckshot. ## Environmental Conditions and Performance Data Reported wind and temperature information from an airport approximately 10 miles away indicated a wind from 130 degrees at 11 knots, gusting to 14 knots, and a temperature of 84°F. A review of the make and model information manual showed that the minimum short-field landing ground roll for the destination airstrip was 720 feet. The source notes that density altitude and tailwind components were not factored into the ground roll calculation.
