Probable cause
Failure of the pilot to go around after landing long & recovering from a bounced landing. Contributing factors were: the pilot's excessive airspeed on the apch, his improper flare for the landing, his failure to attain the proper touchdown point, and the airport facility (localizer transmitter) beyond the end of the runway.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The plt rprtd that drg an apch to land, his speed was 90 mph rather than the 75 to 80 mph that he normally used. He used full flaps on the apch & landed about 1/3 of the way down the rwy. Drg touchdown, the acft bounced & the plt used power to recover. He continued the landing, but was unable to stop on the remaining rwy. The acft continued off the end & went down a slope where it struck a localizer transmitter. No mechanical malfunction of the acft was rprtd.
