Investigating agency: NTSB
Confidence Rating: Accident investigation report completed and information captured
Narrative:
The commercial pilot was performing a forward slip maneuver during landing when the student pilot-rated passenger pushed on the control yoke which resulted in a descent that reached an indicated airspeed of 100 knots. The student pilot did not relinquish the controls to the commercial pilot until the airplane touched down. The pilot was unable to stop the airplane on the remaining runway. It overran the paved surface, went through a perimeter fence, and came to rest on a rocky incline. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The student pilot’s control interference which resulted in a landing with a higher than normal airspeed, and the commercial pilot’s failure to initiate a go-around to avoid the runway overrun.
