Probable cause
Poor judgement of the pilot due to consumption of alcohol, and his misjudgement of distance and altitude to the runway, while on final approach, which subsequently resulted in a touchdown and nose over short of the runway.
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
After the aircraft was on final approach to land at night, it subsequently touched down about 1/4 mile short of the runway, then nosed over after rolling about 75 yards. According to the pilot, the engine lost power on final approach; however, no preimpact part failure or malfunction of the aircraft or engine was found. A toxicology check showed the pilot had a blood/alcohol level of 228 mg/dl (0.228%).
