## Probable cause

The pilot’s failure to conduct a timely aborted landing, which resulted in a runway overrun.

## Findings

NTSB's coded findings; those marked are part of the probable cause.

## Sequence of events

The events NTSB coded, in order, by phase of flight. The defining event best describes what happened.

## Analysis

The pilot of the multiengine airplane was attempting to land on a 3,000-ft-long by 40-ft-wide, asphalt runway. He performed a go-around during his first approach as the airplane was too high. During the second approach, the airplane floated in ground effect and touched down long. The pilot realized the long landing too late to abort the landing, and applied heavy braking; however, the airplane departed the end of the runway and came to rest upright in a grass area. The airplane’s left wing and forward fuselage were substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
