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 Cessna 303 broke out of the clouds and made a long landing on a 5567 ft runway. Tire marks showed that the aircraft touched down with less than 2000 ft of runway remaining. The landing runway was 24 and the winds were from 360 degrees at 8 KTS. The runway surface was covered with slush approximately 1/4 inch deep. The aircraft ran off the departure end. The left seat pilot was not an employee of the certificate holder. The PIC was overheard instructing the left seat pilot to 'get it down.'
