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
While attempting to land on a runway with wind gusts and a quartering tailwind, the pilot failed to adequately judge and compensate for the wind conditions. The aircraft landed long, and the pilot was unable to bring the aircraft to a stop before the end of the runway. The aircraft ran off the departure end of the runway, continued through a ditch, collapsed the landing gear, and skidded to a stop on a state highway.
