SAN ANTONIO, TX, USA

Aircraft #1

N5114K

CESSNA 172

Analysis

THE ACFT RAN OFF THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RWY DURING LANDING, WENT THROUGH A FENCE ON INTO A STREET. TOWER PERSONNEL SAID THE ACFT LANDED FASTER THEN NORMAL ABOUT 1/2 WAY DOWN THE RWY AND BOUNCED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE GOING THROUGH THE FENCE. THE PLT SAID HE FOUND A SHOE UNDER THE BRAKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. SINCE THE BRAKES ON LEFT AND RIGHT ARE INDEPENDENT OF EACH OTHER THIS EXPLANATION IS NOT VALID. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS THAT ONE BRAKE WAS LESS EFFECTIVE THAN THE OTHER. A WITNESS SAID HE HEARD THE ACFT TIRES SQUEALING WHEN THE ACFT WAS ABOUT 500 FT FROM THE RWYS END.
