## Probable cause

THE PILOT USED EXCESSIVE AIRSPEED ON THE APPROACH AND LANDED LONG. THE AIRPLANE WENT OFF THE RUNWAY AND STRUCK A FENCE.

## Sequence of events

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

- Overrun, landing - roll
  - airspeed - excessive, pilot in command (cause)
  - proper touchdown point - not obtained, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water collision with object, landing - roll
  - object - fence

## Analysis

THE PILOT FLEW THE ILS APPROACH AND LANDED ON RUNWAY 06 WITH 861 FEET OF RUNWAY REMAINING. THE PILOT SAID HE 'HYDROPLANED AND RAN OFF END OF RUNWAY.' THE FAA CONDUCTED A FLIGHT CHECK OF THE ILS AND FOUND NO DISCREPANCIES.
