Accident · substantial damage
Jun 9, 2001 · Bennettsville, SC
The pilot failure to obtain the proper touchdown point on the runway resulting in the airplane landing long, over running the runway, colliding with a telephone pole separating the right wing, and coming to rest in the parking lot of a restaurant.
These match the airframe or engine model. Whether each one applies, and whether it's been complied with, depends on serial numbers, equipment and logbook entries. Applicability must be confirmed by a mechanic against the aircraft's records.
