## Probable cause

FAILURE OF THE PILOT TO ATTAIN THE PROPER TOUCHDOWN POINT OR GO AROUND WHILE THERE WAS STILL SUFFICIENT RUNWAY AND SPEED REMAINING.  THE TAILWIND WAS A RELATED FACTOR.

## Sequence of events

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

- Overrun, landing - roll
  - weather condition - tailwind (contributing factor)
  - proper touchdown point - not attained, pilot in command (cause)
  - go-around - not performed, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water encounter with terrain/water, landing - roll
  - terrain condition - rough/uneven

## Analysis

DUE TO NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES, LANDINGS AT THE DESTINATION AIRPORT WERE TO BE MADE TO THE NORTH, EXCEPT WHEN THERE WOULD BE A TAILWIND WIND IN EXCESS OF 10 MPH (9 KTS). WHEN THE PLT ARRIVED, HE TRIED TO CONTACT UNICOM, BUT TO NO AVAIL. HE REPORTED THAT HE CHECKED THE WIND SOCK & ELECTED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 2 WITH A KNOWN TAILWIND. DURING THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO LAND, HE OPTED TO GO-AROUND AS THE APPROACH WAS AFFECTED BY THE TAILWIND (12 KTS). A SECOND APPROACH WAS MADE WITH A LANDING APPROXIMATELY 1800 FT DOWN THE 2400 FT RUNWAY. THE PILOT APPLIED BRAKES AND RETRACTED THE FLAPS. HOWEVER, THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT RUNWAY REMAINING TO STOP. THE AIRCRAFT WENT OFF THE DEPARTURE END AND DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. ACCORDING TO THE PILOT HANDBOOK, A STOPPING DISTANCE OF 928 FT WOULD HAVE BEEN REQUIRED.
