Probable cause
The pilot's failure to select a proper touchdown point. A factor in the accident was inadequate runway maintenance by airport personnel.
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
From base leg, the pilot observed the left and right runway end markers on the sod strip and long grass between them. A similar marker on centerline at runway end was visible just before touchdown. The airplane's right main gear struck the center marker 8 inches below its top during landing.
