## Sequence of events

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

- Overrun, landing - roll
  - weather condition - high density altitude (contributing factor)
  - clearance - misjudged, pilot in command (cause)
  - airspeed - misjudged, pilot in command (cause)
  - go-around - not performed, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water collision with object, landing - roll
  - object - fence (contributing factor)

## Analysis

DURING A LANDING IN CALM WIND CONDITIONS, THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND STRUCK A FENCE. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE HAD TROUBLE LOWERING THE FLAPS AND THAT THE BRAKES WOULD NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. DURING A SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION, THE BRAKES AND FLAPS OPERATED NORMALLY. THE DENSITY ALTITUDE WAS ABOUT 4700 FT.
