Probable cause
The pilot's failure to attain the proper touchdown point and failure to abort the landing. The wet, grass landing area was a factor.
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 touched down long on a wet, 1750-foot turf runway, raised flaps, and applied brakes. The airplane slid beyond the end of the runway and collided with an earthen berm.
