## 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

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

- Overrun, landing - roll
  - airport facilities,runway/landing area condition - grass
  - airport facilities,runway/landing area condition - wet
  - proper touchdown point - not attained, pilot in command (cause)
  - aborted landing - not performed, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water encounter with terrain/water, landing - roll
  - terrain condition - berm

## 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.
