    Factual Information

    On September 4, 2002, approximately 1400 central daylight time, a Piper PA-28-161 single-
    engine airplane, N9855S, was substantially damaged following a runway overrun at the
    Graham Municipal Airport, Graham, Texas. The student pilot, sole occupant of the airplane,
    was not injured. The airplane was registered to and operated by U.S. Flight Academy L.L.C.,
    Denton, Texas. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a flight plan was not filed for
    the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 instructional flight. The solo cross-country flight
    originated at 1330 from Denton, with an intermediate stop at Mineral Wells, Texas, and then to
    Graham.

    In the Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1/2), the 44-hour student pilot
    reported that prior to executing a touch-and-go landing, he overflew the airport at 2,000 feet
    agl. The pilot noticed construction vehicles near the runway, and he then contacted UNICOM.
    The UNICOM operator stated he would drive over to the construction area and have the
    vehicles clear the runway. During the touch-and-go to runway 21, the pilot reported that he
    landed further down the runway than normal. Subsequently, the airplane departed the runway
    and came to rest upright in a culvert. The pilot reported that the wind was from 180 at 9 knots
    and gusting to 15 knots.

    Note: This accident report documents the factual circumstances of this accident as described to
    the NTSB.
    Investigation Docket: https://data.ntsb.gov/Docket?ProjectID=55635

    The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), established in 1967, is an


    independent federal agency mandated by Congress through the
    Independent Safety Board Act of 1974 to investigate transportation
    accidents, determine the probable causes of the accidents, issue safety
    recommendations, study transportation safety issues, and evaluate the
    safety effectiveness of government agencies involved in transportation. The
    NTSB makes public its actions and decisions through accident reports,
    safety studies, special investigation reports, safety recommendations, and
    statistical reviews.

    The Independent Safety Board Act, as codified at 49 U.S.C. Section 1154(b),


    precludes the admission into evidence or use of any part of an NTSB report
    related to an incident or accident in a civil action for damages resulting
    from a matter mentioned in the report. A factual report that may be
    admissible under 49 U.S.C. § 1154(b) is available here.
