Analysis
During arrival, the plt checked the lighted wind sock & estimated that the wind was from 020 deg at 10 KTS. He elected not to land on rwy 31 since there were obstacles near the apch end. He stated that when the acft was about to touch downon rwy 13, there was a big gust of wind which made the acft land long. As the acft landed. The plt selected max reverse,but got no response. He decide he could not make a successful go-around so he applied max braking, but was unable to stop on the remaining rwy. Subsequently, the acft departed the rwy, went thru a fence, crossed a road, hit a pole & thenthe gear collapsed as it went over railroad tracks. A witness estimated that at about the time the acft was landing, thewind shifted to the north & increased to about 35 to 40 mph. Reportedly, the final apch speed was about 13 KTS too fast. Skid marks were found on the rwy, starting about 2000 ft from the apch end. With a 35 kt tail wind, landing roll withoutreverse thrust would have been 3015 ft. no malfunctions found, but it was noted that reverse sys was inop above 90 KTS.
