Summary

On September 16, 2019, a Piper PA32R (N6887J) was involved in an incident near Owasso, OK. 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 improper altitude and airspeed control during landing, which resulted in the airplane landing long and a subsequent runway overrun and impact with a drainage culvert.

The pilot reported that during initial approach the airplane was too high. The pilot attempted three separate landings, and during the fourth approach, the airplane was again too fast and too high above the runway. The airplane landed long, and he applied the brakes, but the airplane overran end of the runway, and crossed a public road before colliding with a ditch.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings.

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

This incident is documented in NTSB report GAA19CA554. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N6887J.
