## Probable cause

THE PILOT IN COMMAND'S MISJUDGMENT OF THE PROPER TOUCHDOWN POINT DURING AN EMERGENCY LANDING AND THE PILOT IN COMMAND'S FAILURE TO REFUEL THE AIRPLANE.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of engine power(total) - nonmechanical, climb
  - fuel supply - misjudged, pilot in command (contributing factor)
  - refueling - not performed, pilot in command (cause)
  - fluid,fuel - exhaustion
- Forced landing, descent - emergency
- Overrun, landing - roll
  - airspeed(vref) - excessive, pilot in command
  - all available runway - not used, pilot in command
  - proper touchdown point - misjudged, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water encounter with terrain/water, landing - roll

## Analysis

DURING A CLIMB TO ALTITUDE A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WAS EXPERIENCED DUE TO FUEL EXHAUSTION.  WHILE EXECUTING A FORCED LANDING TO AN AIRPORT, THE PILOT INCREASED AIRSPEED TO LAND ON THE RUNWAY.  TOUCHDOWN OCCURRED ONE THIRD OF THE WAY DOWN THE RUNWAY.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOT STOPPED ON THE RUNWAY, OVERRAN THE DEPARTURE END, AND THE NOSEGEAR COLLAPSED.

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
