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 misjudged his touchdown point on the 1,000 foot airstrip and had an excess of airspeed. And overrun occurred and the aircraft went down an embankment. At the time of touchdown, there was only about 4 KTS of headwind available.
