The pilot reported that he was engaged in a private flight when the accident occurred. He departed from a private farm near Mable Hall to a private farm near Bapsfontein.
During final approach for Runway 05 he lost control of the aircraft after landing and could not stop the aircraft and overshot the runway. The aircraft came to a stop in a ditch at the end of the runway extended centreline. The pilot turned off the master switch and disembarked without assistance. The aircraft sustained damage to the nose gear,
propeller, and leading edges of both wings.
Probable Cause
It is likely that the aircraft’s airspeed was too high on approach, and during the landing phase, the aircraft landed deep and overshot the runway before it came to a stop in a ditch beyond the runway.
Contributing Factor
The aircraft landed at a high speed.
