Probable cause
The captain misjudged distance and altitude to the runway and allowed the aircraft to touch down just short of the runway lip. The runway lip was a related factor.
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 flt was cleared for a visual apch to rwy 21, which had an opnl VASI. The capt rprtd that at about 200' AGL on the apch, the acft was 'below the vasi' & he increased power to correct the situation. However, the acft touched down just short of the rwy & the main gear hit the rwy lip, which was about 6' above the overrun area. The main gear wheels hit the lip & the right main tires blew out. The acft contd down the rwy, until it slowed to about 60 KTS, then it veered of the right side of the rwy, hit 2 twy markers & came to rest with substantial dmg.
