On May 16, 2003, at 1345 central daylight time, an OMF 100-160 single-engine airplane, N260MF, sustained substantial damage during landing when it overran the departure end of runway 14 and impacted the perimeter fence at the Stinson Municipal Airport (SSF), near San Antonio, Texas. The airplane was registered to C S Mikate Investments of Plymouth, Wisconsin, and operated by Wright Flyers Aviation Inc., of San Antonio, Texas. The private pilot and his passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a flight plan was not filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The local flight originated from SSF approximately 1200.
Information provided in the Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1/2), revealed that the 210-hour pilot was making a full stop landing and was advised by the air traffic control tower to exit the 4,128-foot runway at the end. The aircraft proceeded beyond the exit point, and continued off the end of the runway. Subsequently, the airplane impacted an airport perimeter fence. The pilot stated he "applied brakes to stop, but the airplane continued until striking the fence."
The FAA inspector reported that the left main landing gear was collapsed aft, and the leading edge of the left wingsustained an 8-inch tear extending aft to the wing spar. An FAA inspector tested the airplanes brake system and no anomalies were noted.
The pilot's failure to land at the proper touchdown point, which resulted in the overrun of the runway.
