Factual narrative
On October 30, 1993, at 1715 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 182P, N1085M, collided with ground obstructions during a landing overrun at the Benton airport, Redding, California. The aircraft was owned and operated by Hillside Aviation, Inc., of Redding, California, and was rented by the pilot for a personal cross country flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed for the operation. The aircraft incurred substantial damage. Neither the certificated private pilot nor her three passengers were injured. The flight originated from Paradise, California, on the day of the mishap at about 1645 hours. Ground witnesses reported that the airplane was high and fast on final and touched down about 1,400 feet from the end of the 2,400 foot long runway 15. The airplane overran the departure end of the runway, traveled down a shallow embankment, and collided with a berm.
