## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Overrun, landing - roll
  - weather condition - tailwind (contributing factor)
  - wrong runway - selected, pilot in command (cause)
  - aborted landing - not performed, pilot in command (cause)
  - airspeed - excessive, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water collision with object, landing - roll
  - terrain condition - hidden obstruction(s) (contributing factor)

## Analysis

THE PILOT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A STANDARD LEFT TRAFFIC PATTERN, THE WIND AT THE NORTH END OF THE AIRPORT SHIFTED FROM THE SOUTHEAST TO THE NORTHWEST. THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN WITH EXCESSIVE GROUND SPEED, RAN OFF THE END OF THE RWY AND CAME TO REST ON A BRIDGE USED FOR AN OVERRUN AREA. THE PLANKS ON THE BRIDGE GAVE WAY AND THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR FELL THROUGH THE BRIDGE.
