Probable cause
Failure of the pilot to stop the aircraft on the available runway due to a long landing.
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 aircraft was observed to make a long landing with a quartering tailwind of 15 knots. The aircraft was unable to stop on the 2047 foot runway, ran off the departure end, across a road and into an area of brush. The touchdown point was estimated by witness as 1/2 to 2/3 of the way down the runway.
