Summary
On August 04, 2016, a Beech F33 (N90HF) was involved in an incident near Bivalve, MD. 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 excessive airspeed during landing, which resulted in a runway overrun, and impact with a ditch.
The commercial pilot reported that while landing on his private airstrip he "misjudged the approach airspeed" and after touchdown the airplane was unable to stop before the end of the runway. The pilot further reported that the airplane exited the runway and impacted a ditch with small trees and bushes, which resulted in a nose gear and left main landing gear collapse, and a nose down. The airplane subsequently sustained substantial damage to the left wing and left aileron.
The pilot reported that there were no pre impact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.
This incident is documented in NTSB report GAA16CA423. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N90HF.
