What happened
On February 10, 2024, a Mooney M20K, registration C-FLQQ, was conducting a personal cross-country flight at 24,000 feet when the pilot observed a significant drop in engine oil pressure and a loss of throttle response. The pilot declared an emergency and diverted to Burley Municipal Airport (BYI) in Idaho.
During the approach to runway 06, the pilot encountered a 7-knot tailwind. The pilot reported that the approach was high and fast. In an attempt to lose altitude, the pilot pushed the nose down, which increased the airspeed to approximately 88 knots during the landing. The aircraft bounced during the landing, and the pilot was unable to maintain tire contact with the ground while attempting to brake. The airplane exited the end of the runway, traveled into the grass, and struck a fence and a metal container before coming to a stop 760 feet from the runway end.
The pilot sustained one minor injury, and there were no fatalities.
