Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The plt stated that 'as I crossed over the field boundry, landing was assured so I closed the throttle. The acft then pitched nose up (slightly), left wing dropped & acft sank out of control to touchdown on the overrun just short of the threshold.' The acft rolled off the lt side of rwy 30 & came to rest with the gear collapsed. The plt reported there was nothing wrong with the acft.
