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 pilot reported that he landed too FAR down the runway at a speed of 75 KTS. Reportedly, there was a hump in the runway which obstructed his view of the end. Subsequently, he decided that it was too late to abort the landing; however, he was unable to stop on the remaining runway. The aircraft continued off the departure end and nosed over.
