THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON RUNWAY 22, A 3471 FOOT LONG RUNWAY. THE WIND AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH WAS 340 AT 5 KNOTS. ACCORDING TO AIRCRAFT SPECIFICATIONS, THE AIRCRAFT REQUIRES  2140 FEET OF GROUND ROLL. THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE RUNWAY AND ENDED UP IN A GULLY UPSIDE DOWN FACING TOWARD THE RUNWAY.  PICTURES TAKEN FROM THE DEPARTING PORTION OF THE RUNWAY SHOW SKID MARKS ONLY FOR THE LAST TWO HUNDRED FEET PRIOR TO THE RUNWAY END.
