Analysis

The plt made a VOR apch to the arpt and circled to land while simultaneously determining wind condition. It was raining at the time. A landing was made on rwy 27. On touchdown, the plt stated, his brakes were ineffective. He described the rwy as wet. Since it was too late to do a go around he decided to stay on the ground. The acft then contacted trees at the end of the rwy and the acft nosed over. The rwy is 2170 ft long with a useable length of 1730 ft.
