Incident Description
On September 26, 2014, at 16:30 local time, a Cessna 172 (registration D-EVZZ) was conducting a private VFR flight from Augsburg (EDMA) to Wangen-Lachen airfield (LSPV). The pilot joined the traffic pattern for runway 08. While approaching, another aircraft had not yet vacated the runway, prompting the pilot to initiate a go-around.
During the subsequent downwind leg at an altitude of 2,500 ft QNH, the pilot turned onto final approach early. The aircraft was configured with full flaps, and the approach speed was estimated at 77 knots. The main wheels touched down approximately 150 meters beyond the runway threshold. The pilot was unable to bring the aircraft to a stop within the remaining runway length. The Cessna overran the runway end and came to rest in the adjacent soft ground. The pilot was uninjured.
