N2001S – Cessna 182Q – 2007-08-30 NTSB Accident Report

On August 30, 2007, a Cessna 182Q (N2001S) was involved in an incident near Dunsmuir, CA. All 1 person aboard were uninjured. The aircraft sustained substantial damage.

The National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of this incident to be: The pilot's misjudgment of distance/speed and his failure to attain the proper touchdown point during landing, which resulted in a runway overrun during the landing roll.

The pilot reported that while en route on the cross-country flight he observed the alternator's voltage degrading, which prompted him to divert to an alternate airport. The pilot stated that he was "hot and fast" on final approach, which resulted in the airplane touching down long and overrunning the end of the runway. The airplane subsequently impacted a fence before coming to rest upright. An examination of the airplane by a certificated FAA airframe and powerplant mechanic confirmed that the airplane had sustained substantial damage to its left wing and aft fuselage area.

This incident is documented in NTSB report SEA07CA257. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N2001S.
