Probable cause
The pilot-in-command's selection of the wrong runway for landing. A factor was the tailwind.
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 airplane completed an ILS approach to runway 27 and requested to circle to land runway 13. The tower was reporting wind as two five zero at two one. On landing the second pilot was unable to stop the airplane on the runway. The airplane overran the end of the runway and impacted an elevated service road off the end of runway 13 collapsing the nose landing gear.
