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 canceled IFR 8 miles from the arpt to continue on a visual apch and landing. Witnesses stated a strong thunderstorm had just passed over the arpt. Wind info issued to the plt by UNICOM were west at 20 KTS. Witnesses observed the acft apch rwy 31 and execute a go-around before touchdown. The acft cirled left to a rwy 6 (almost direct downwind) apch. Touchdown occurred about 2/3 down the 3100 ft long rwy. The engines were heard to spool up to high power (no thrust reversers) but the acft did not become airborne. It overran the rwy into rough terrain and caught fire. Investigation showed the landing gear was down, flaps were at apch setting and speed brakes were fully deployed.
