## Sequence of events

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

- Overrun, landing - roll
  - lowering of flaps - inadequate, pilot in command (cause)
  - airspeed - misjudged, pilot in command (cause)
- Gear collapsed, landing - roll
  - landing gear - overload (contributing factor)

## Analysis

THE AIRCRAFT LANDED LONG ON A DOWN SLOPE RUNWAY AND RAN OFF THE END COLLAPSING THE LANDING GEAR. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE SHOULD HAVE USED FULL FLAPS INSTEAD OF THE 20 DEGREES HE USED.
