What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During short final to ksez runway 21, the aircraft impacted the blast pad, short of runway, driving the landing gear up through the top of the wing. The aircraft slid approximately 420 feet where it exited runway 21 to the west side. The aircraft slid approximately 380 more feet, shearing the taxiway A2 sign from its base and crossing A2 along the way.
Report winds at the exact time are unknown, however the winds 1 hr 25 minutes after the accident (2155Z) were reported 21010G21KT, variable between 160 and 220 degrees.
The pilot indicated he was approaching on the VASI (2 RED/2 white) and when he saw the 3rd red light, he added power, but did not attempt a go around. Had "no idea" where the wind came from. He also said he is very familiar with the airport and has landed there "a hundred times".
