Incident Overview
A solo private pilot was operating a tailwheel-equipped airplane on a personal flight under Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. The flight concluded with a landing on a mountaintop airstrip. According to the pilot's report, during the landing she inadvertently touched down beyond her intended touchdown point. Recognizing that she would be unable to stop the aircraft before reaching the end of the airstrip, she applied heavy braking at the end of the landing roll. However, the airplane continued off the end of the airstrip and nosed over.
Aircraft Damage
The accident resulted in substantial damage to the left wing, left wing lift strut, and empennage. The pilot stated that there were no preaccident mechanical problems with the airplane.
Pilot Report
The pilot was the sole occupant. She reported no preexisting mechanical issues and described the sequence of events as a landing overshoot. No other details were provided regarding the specific location or conditions.
