Probable cause
The pilot's misjudgement of distance and speed during the landing, and his failure to initiate a go around, while there was still sufficient speed and runway remaining. His failure to attain the proper touchdown point for the landing was a related factor.
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 airplane landed long and the pilot was unable to stop the airplane before it went off the end of the runway and through a chain link fence.
