"AAIB investigation to Cessna 182T Skylane, G-LANS
Overran runway while landing and overturned, Bodmin Airfield, Cornwall, 9 December 2017.
Before taking off from Oxford Airfield the pilot obtained information which indicated Runway 31 would be in use at Bodmin and that the grass surface was likely to be wet. The Landing Distance Available (LDA) on Runway 31 is 540 metres, and the pilot assessed this as sufficient.
He had visited Bodmin twice previously, the most recent of these visits being less than four months before the accident when he recorded three takeoffs and three landings on Runway 13, while accompanied by an instructor in a Cessna 172 aircraft.
In the vicinity of Bodmin, the pilot learnt that the surface wind was from 140 degrees at 5 knots, and that Runway 13 was in use. He was aware of a downhill gradient on Runway 13 but with an LDA of 598 metres, 54 metres longer than that of Runway 31, he believed this was sufficient for a ‘Short Field Landing’, even though the aircraft was close to its maximum landing weight.
While joining the circuit for landing, the pilot orbited to make way for preceding traffic and in doing so he unintentionally allowed the aircraft to climb. Despite his best efforts to descend, he was aware of being higher than he should have been throughout the circuit, and was therefore above the ideal approach path when he established on final approach. He was also aware that the indicated airspeed of 75 kt was faster than intended and he noted afterwards that he only selected two stages of flap, so overlooked selecting the final stage of flap required for a ‘Short Field Landing’.
Prior to landing, the pilot realised that he would touchdown further along the runway than intended but he still thought there was adequate stopping distance. Following the accident he observed that, prior to the downhill gradient, the first section of the runway slopes up, creating a hump, and therefore the far end of the runway was not visible to him at this stage.
His impression was that he touched down approximately one third of the way along the runway and he was surprised to learn afterwards that witnesses at the airfield assessed the point of touchdown as closer to three quarters of the available distance.
After touchdown, because of the wet grass, the pilot initially applied normal braking and by the time he realised there was only a short distance in which to stop, he judged that his speed was too slow to initiate a baulked landing and go around. He then applied maximum braking, but felt the wheels skidding before the aircraft left the end of the runway at low speed. It overran down a grass bank and overturned onto a private road where it came to rest.
The pilot secured the fuel and the electrics before he and his passengers opened the doors and escaped, without injury."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the above AAIB report, the aircraft was "Damaged beyond economic repair."
