## Probable cause

THE PILOT ALLOWED THE AIRSPEED TO GET EXCESSIVE, RESULTING IN THE AIRPLANE TOUCHING DOWN TOO LONG AND TOO FAST.

## 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 encounter with terrain/water, landing - roll
  - terrain condition - high vegetation
- Nose over, landing - roll

## 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.
