The aircraft, a Beechcraft 19A Musketeer Sport III, flew three low-level circuits to Runway 24 at Milltownpass Airstrip, Co. Westmeath, Ireland. A landing was performed following a fourth circuit; however, a runway excursion occurred when the aircraft departed the right-hand side of the runway during the landing roll. The aircraft’s right wing impacted a hedgerow before the aircraft came to rest in a shallow ditch at the airstrip boundary beyond the end of the runway. The Pilot, who was the sole occupant of the aircraft, sustained minor injuries and exited the aircraft unaided. The aircraft sustained substantial damage.
Probable Cause
Landing with excessive speed followed by insufficient brake application resulting in a runway excursion.
Contributory Cause(s)
1. Lack of experience on this aircraft type.
