Factual narrative
On May 27, 1995, at 1800 central daylight time, a Cessna 337B, N2385S, was substantially damaged when it exited the side of the runway while landing at Lemmon Municipal Airport, Lemmon, South Dakota. The private pilot and two passengers reported no injuries. The local 14 CFR Part 91 pleasure flight operated in visual meteorological conditions without a flight plan. The pilot and passengers had just returned from a local flight and the pilot stated he made a "perfect normal landing" on runway 29 (4500' x 100') at Lemmon Municipal Airport. While on the landing roll, the airplane started a turn to the right and exited the side of the runway. The nose wheel collapsed and the left wing and spar was damaged. THE PILOT STATED THAT AFTER RETURNING FROM A LOCAL FLIGHT, HE MADE A 'PERFECT NORMAL LANDING.' DURING THE LANDING ROLL, THE AIRPLANE VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND EXITED THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE LEFT WING AND SPAR WAS DAMAGED. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
