LIGHT RAIN WAS REPORTED AT THE TIME AND THE WINDS WERE REPORTED TO THE PLTS AS BEING FROM 340 DEGS AT 10 KTS. THE RWY IS CONSTRUCTED OF A POROUS FRICTION COURSE (PFC) MATERIAL WHICH PROVIDES GOOD BRAKING ACTION AND A HYDROPLANE RESISTANT SURFACE. WITNESSES STATED THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN LONG AND FAST. THE PLTS STATED THEY TOUCHED DOWN 'A LITTLE LONG' AND THE BRAKED FAILED AS THEY NEARED THE END OF THE RWY. TESTS ON THE BRAKE AND HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS INDICATED THEY OPERATED SATISFACTORILY WITH NO FAILURES NOTED. THE PLTS STATED THEY DID NOT UTILIZE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES AND DID NOT STATE WHY THEY DIDN'T. THE PLT STATED THAT THE LANDING DATA COMPUTED WAS FOR A 10 KT HEADWIND COMPONENT ON A DRY RWY. ## Aircraft - Registration: N14DM (not matched to a registry record) - Reported make and model: MITSUBISHI MU-300 - Category: Airplane - Serial number: A017SA - Airframe hours: 1123 - Engines: P&W JT15D-4 2500 lbs thrust turbo jet - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Executive/Corporate, Part 91 - Registered owner: Raleigh Enterprises - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, December 19, 1985, 46 hours before - Departed: SANTA MONICA, CA - Flight plan: IFR - Airport: CRQ, Carlsbad-Palomar, runway 24, 4,700 × 150 ft, asphalt ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.

Landed long. Fast, with a quartering tailwind. Off runway end, ground looped to stop. No mechanical defects founds. From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. --- OpenAirDocs.org is an independent research project of [Contrail Labs](https://contraillabs.com/). It is not affiliated with the FAA or the NTSB.
