Accident Overview
A pilot involved in a runway excursion and subsequent nose-over reported that he landed at approximately 80 knots and did not extend the flaps before landing. The airplane failed to decelerate sufficiently and departed the runway surface. During the excursion, the nose wheel collapsed, causing the airplane to nose over.
Pilot Report
In a telephone interview with the NTSB investigator-in-charge, the pilot stated that he "landed around 80 knots" and "didn't get the flaps down" before landing. He further reported that the airplane "didn't want to stop" and subsequently "ran off the runway." The pilot did not report any preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
Witness Account
A witness present at the airport in a hangar observed the accident airplane and described it as "high, fast, and down wind." The witness noted that the airplane overran the runway and nosed over into the grass.
Weather Information
An automated weather observation station located approximately 28 nautical miles west of the accident site reported wind from 170° at 7 knots around the time of the accident. The landing was conducted on runway 36.
Damage
The fuselage, wings, and vertical stabilizer sustained substantial damage.
Additional Details
