## Sequence of events

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

- On ground/water collision with object, landing - roll
  - brakes(normal) - improper use of, pilot in command (cause)
  - judgment - poor, pilot in command (contributing factor)

## Analysis

THE PILOT TOUCHED DOWN LONG BUT WITH ADEQUATE RUNWAY REMAINING. HOWEVER, HE DELAYED BRAKE APPLICATION AND AS A RESULT WAS STILL GOING TOO FAST TO TURN OFF AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY. COLLISION WITH THE RUNWAY END BARRIER OCCURRED.
