N23316

On August 22, 2004, at 0830 central daylight time, a Cessna 150H, N23316, sustained substantial damage when it landed hard and subsequently departed the end of runway 9 (2,325 feet by 100 feet, concrete) at the privately owned Table Rock Airport (MO32), Golden, Missouri. The private pilot was not injured. The 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight departed Monett Municipal Airport (M58), Monett, Missouri, at an unknown time. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed. No flight plan was filed.

The pilot reported that he did one touch and go at the Turkey Mountain Estates Airport (MO00), Shell Knob, Missouri, and then proceeded to MO32 where he intended to practice landings prior to returning to M58. He reported that the airplane was high on final approach to runway 9 at MO32 so he slipped the airplane to lose altitude. He landed beyond the first one-third of the runway because some grass was growing on the first one-third of the runway. He reported, "The aircraft touched down hard and bounced." He increased power and then reduced it to land. Upon landing he applied brakes but the airplane departed the end of the runway. The airplane struck some truck tires positioned at the end of the runway that act as an artificial barrier. He reported that the airplane did not have a mechanical malfunction prior to the accident.
