## Probable cause

THE PROPER TOUCHDOWN POINT WAS NOT ATTAINED AND AN ABORTED LANDING WAS DELAYED BY THE PILOT. A FACTOR RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT WAS THE ICY RUNWAY CONDITIONS.

## Sequence of events

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

- Overrun, landing - roll
  - terrain condition - icy (contributing factor)
  - proper touchdown point - not attained, pilot in command (cause)
  - aborted landing - delayed, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water encounter with terrain/water, landing - roll
- Nose over, landing - roll

## Analysis

THE PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE AIRPLANE ON THE ICY RUNWAY DURING THE LANDING ROLL.  THE AIRPLANE SLID OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND NOSED OVER.
