N337JJ – Cessna T337G – 2008-06-08 NTSB Accident Report

On June 08, 2008, a Cessna T337G (N337JJ) was involved in an incident near Greatbarrington, MA. All 2 people 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 and altitude, and failure to attain the proper touchdown point. The pilot's delayed remedial action was also causal.

The pilot reported that he was familiar with landing at his home base airport. He made a normal entry into the traffic pattern, extended the wing flaps and landing gear, and established the airplane on a normal descent path toward the runway. The pilot planned to land near the threshold of the 2,579-foot-long runway. According to the pilot, on short final approach the airplane descended faster than expected, and he should have increased engine power without delay. The airplane touched down short of the threshold, impacted a berm, and the landing gear sheared off. The pilot indicated that he misjudged the touchdown point.

This incident is documented in NTSB report LAX08CA172. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N337JJ.
