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 pilot flew a VOR approach and cancelled his IFR clearance after he broke out of the clouds. He continued the approach for a visual landing and touched down short of the runway. The main landing gear was damaged when it struck the approach end of the runway on rollout.
