On July 23, 2003, about 2010 central daylight time, a Piper PA-28-140, N9941W, piloted by a student pilot, sustained substantial damage during landing approach to runway 04 (8,021 feet by 150 feet, asphalt), at the Evansville Regional Airport, Evansville, Indiana. The airplane struck barrels used to mark the displaced threshold of the runway. The 14 CFR Part 91 solo training flight was operating in visual meteorological conditions without a flight plan. The flight departed from Skylane Airport, Evansville, Indiana, at an undetermined time.
As of this writing, the student pilot has not submitted a written report of the accident to the National Transportation Safety Board.
The pilot's failure to attain the proper touchdown point. The barrels were a factor.
