Accident occurred Monday, January 25, 2016 in Lodi, CA

NTSB investigators may not have traveled in support of this investigation and used data provided by various sources to prepare this aircraft accident report.
The private pilot reported that, following an uneventful local personal flight, he entered the airport traffic pattern, and he then landed the airplane slightly beyond the runway numbers at 75 mph. He let the airplane “coast” down the remainder of the runway, and as it crossed the runway threshold, he applied brakes with the airplane about 15 to 20 mph to prepare to initiate a right turn. Shortly after, the airplane broke traction and skidded in a straight line. Despite the pilot’s attempts to stop the airplane, it impacted an airport perimeter fence about 495 ft beyond the runway threshold, traveled across a ditch and adjacent frontage road, impacted a second fence, and then came to rest upright. The pilot stated that the asphalt was damp with scattered puddles. A pilot-rated witness, who was located at the airport adjacent to the runway reported that he observed the airplane on downwind and that, as the airplane neared the approach end of the runway, it made a steep right turn toward the runway. The witness said that the airplane appeared to be traveling too fast over the runway and that it touched down around the area where the two runways intersected. The witness further stated that the airplane seemed to be under braking immediately after touchdown but that it continued off the runway. Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed no evidence of any preexisting mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. Examination of the runway revealed skid marks extending from the departure end of the runway threshold to the airport perimeter fence. Both the left and right tires exhibited signatures consistent with skidding.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
The pilot's failure to attain a proper touchdown point, which led to a runway excursion.
On January 25, 2016, about 1930 Pacific standard time, a Cessna 210F, N7316E, was substantially damaged during a runway overrun at the Lodi Airport (1O3), Lodi, California. The airplane was registered to a private individual, and operated by the pilot under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. The private pilot and passenger were not injured. Night visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the local personal flight, which originated from 1O3 about 1900.
In a written statement to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator-in-charge (IIC), the pilot reported that after performing a local flight, which included a touch-and-go landing at a nearby airport, he returned to 1O3. He entered the airport traffic pattern on a right downwind for runway 8. The pilot stated that the airplane touched down just east of the numbers at 75 miles per hour, and that he let the airplane "coast" down the remainder of the runway. During the landing roll, he retracted the flaps, and as the airplane crossed the departure end of the runway threshold and entered the area of the displaced threshold, he applied the brakes at an estimated ground speed of 15 to 20 miles per hour in order to start a turn toward the fuel pumps. The pilot stated that the asphalt was damp with scattered puddles, and shortly after applying the brakes, the airplane broke traction and skidded in a straight line. Despite the pilot's attempts to stop the airplane, it impacted an airport perimeter fence about 495 feet beyond the runway threshold, and traveled across a ditch and adjacent frontage road before impacting a second fence as it came to rest upright.
A pilot rated witness, who was located at his hangar east of the runway 8 and runway 12 intersection, reported that he observed an airplane fly south of runway 8, traveling in a westerly direction at an altitude of about 500 feet above ground level. He stated that as the airplane neared the approach end of runway 8, it made a steep right turn towards the runway. The witness said that he continued to watch the airplane, which seemed to be traveling too fast over the runway, and observed it touch down around the area of the runway 8 and runway 12 intersection. The witness further stated that the airplane seemed to be under braking immediately after touch down and that it continued off the runway, through an airport perimeter fence, across a ditch, a frontage road, and then struck a second fence before it came to a stop.
Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that the left horizontal stabilizer was structurally damaged. The inspector reported that skid marks were observed extending from the departure end of the runway 8 threshold to the airport perimeter fence.
1O3 features two runways, runway 8/26, a 3,735 foot-long and 42-foot wide asphalt runway, and runway 12/30, a 2,073-foot long and 26-foot wide asphalt runway. Runway 8 has a displaced threshold of about 555 feet, and the runway 26 threshold is displaced about 495 feet, which equates to about 2,685 feet of runway between both thresholds. Both displaced thresholds are composed of asphalt. The intersection for both runways is located about 1,415 feet from the runway 8 threshold to the runway 12 centerline.
Examination of the airplane by the NTSB IIC on February 16, 2016, revealed that both the left and right brakes were intact and undamaged. When actuated, both brakes functioned normally. The right main landing gear tire exhibited an area that was smooth in appearance, flat, with no visible areas of tread present. The left main landing gear exhibited an area of wear that had a significantly lower tread depth. No evidence of any preexisting mechanical malfunction that would have precluded normal operation was observed.

On January 25, 2016, about 1930 Pacific standard time, a Cessna 210, N7316E, was substantially damaged during a runway overrun at the Lodi Airport (1O3), Lodi, California. The airplane was registered to a private individual and operated by the pilot under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. The private pilot and passenger were not injured. Night visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the local personal flight which originated from 1O3 about 1900.
The pilot reported that after performing a local flight, which included a touch and go landing at a nearby airport, he returned to 1O3 with intent of conducting a full stop landing. Following a normal landing on runway 8, he let the airplane continue to roll out to the end of the runway. As the airplane approached the runway threshold, the pilot applied brakes at an estimated ground speed of about 15 to 20 miles per hour and immediately felt like the airplane was skidding or losing traction. The pilot opined that it was possible that the brakes were locked up and that he applied normal pressure to the rudder pedals in order to actuate the brakes. Despite the pilot's attempts to stop the airplane, it impacted an airport perimeter fence about 495 feet beyond the runway threshold.
Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that the left horizontal stabilizer was structurally damaged.
A small aircraft crashed through a safety fence before coming to a stop in a ditch on Monday evening at the Lodi Airport.
According to an official at the scene, the pilot of a Cessna 210 Centurion said his brakes locked up on him as he was landing at the airport.
The plane continued east toward the Highway 99 frontage road, busting through a fence before coming to a stop in the ditch just feet away from the southbound shoulder of the highway.
The official said that the pilot was not injured in the crash.
LODI — A small plane crash landed near the Lodi Airport on Monday night.
The pilot said his brakes locked up near the runway, causing the plane to crash through a safety fence and land in a ditch just feet from Highway 99.
The pilot was not injured in the crash landing.
