On June 04, 2016, a Mooney M20C (N6453U) was involved in an incident near Williamstown, NJ. 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 landing area overshoot and failure to maintain surface speed and braking capability, which resulted in a runway overrun and a collision with a fence.

The pilot reported that while landing on a wet grass runway, he touched down long, skidded about 200 feet, and was unable to slow the airplane. Subsequently, the airplane overran the runway and struck a fence about 20 feet beyond the end of the runway, which resulted in substantial damage to the firewall.

The pilot did not report any mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

After multiple requests by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator-in-charge, the pilot failed to submit the NTSB Form 6120.1 Pilot/ Operator Aircraft Accident/ Incident Report.

This incident is documented in NTSB report GAA16CA276. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N6453U.
