Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot stated that she attempted a landing with a 10-degree flap setting. Calm winds were reported by the pilot. The airplane, which has tricycle-type landing gear, touched down in a "perfect" three-point landing at about 75 knots. The pilot told the Federal Aviation Administration inspector that the touchdown point was about halfway down the runway, at about 105 knots. The pilot realized that the airplane speed was too fast and then performed an aborted landing by retracting flaps to 0 degrees and adding full power. The airplane impacted a traffic sign and terrain when it overran the runway without becoming airborne, which resulted in substantial damage to the firewall. The pilot sustained minor injuries.
