FAA Considers Action Against Pilot Who Landed On Wisconsin Interstate Highway

Agency Says The Pilot Operated VFR In IFR Conditions

The FAA is reportedly considering administrative action against a pilot who overshot a runway at Yorkville (WI) Sylvania Airport and wound up going down on Interstate 94 in Racine County, WI.

The NTSB preliminary report indicates that on October 22, 2012, about 1845 central daylight time, a Beech B90 airplane, N821DA, collided with a fence and a ditch when it overran runway 8R while landing at the Sylvania Airport (C89), Sturtevant, Wisconsin.

The commercial pilot was not injured and his passenger received minor injuries. The airplane sustained damage to its fuselage and both wings. The aircraft was registered to Direct Action Aviation LLC, and was operated by Skydive Midwest. The accident flight was conducted under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight.

Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight, which was not operated on a flight plan. The flight originated from the Jackson County Airport-Reynolds Field (JXN), Jackson, Michigan, at an unconfirmed time.
