Probable cause
The pilot allowed the airspeed to get excessive, resulting in the airplane touching down too long and too fast.
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 pilot landed the airplane long on a 2500 foot runway, bounced on initial touchdown and could not stop the airplane before it overran the departure end of the runway, down an embankment, and nosed over.
