Analysis

The acft was observed to land fast & long. Tire marks on the rwy revealed that the acft started to veer left from the rwy centerline about 5,475 ft down the rwy. At about 6,150 ft down the rwy the acft exited the left side of the rwy & collided with a chain link fence. The left main wheel tire marks were darker than the right. The acft's anti-skid systemchecked okay. When the anti-skid system is actively modulating brake pressure, a plt must reduce metered pressure on theside opposite to which the turn or heading correction is desired. The spoilers were stowed & the nosewheel steering was not engaged. At the time of the accident the PIC was taking medication to arrest high blood pressure.
