Incident Overview
A pilot practicing touch-and-go landings experienced a runway overrun during the second landing attempt, resulting in substantial damage to the aircraft. The incident occurred at an airport with a single runway.
Pre-accident Actions
Before setting up for a visual approach, the pilot overflew the airport and checked the wind sock, which indicated wind from the south at 10 knots. Based on this information, the pilot entered the traffic pattern for landing on runway 15, which is 2,480 feet long and 30 feet wide with a dry asphalt surface.
First Approach and Go-Around
During the first approach, the pilot determined the airplane was too high and executed a go-around. The pilot remained in the traffic pattern for a second approach to the same runway.
Second Approach and Landing
After touchdown on the runway during the second approach, the pilot realized the ground speed was higher than normal and applied the brakes. Unable to stop the airplane before the end of the runway, the pilot steered to the right to avoid a guard rail. The airplane departed the runway and entered a field.
Impact and Damage
The nose landing gear impacted a fence, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operations.
Witness Observations
Two pilot-rated witnesses observed the landing and noted that the wind reversed direction while the pilot was on the second approach and landing attempt.
