Factual narrative
THE ACFT OVERRAN THE RWY AND COLLIDED WITH A DITCH DURING LANDING. THE ACFT HAD TOUCHED DOWN ABOUT 500 YARDS DOWN THE RWY ACCORDING TO THE PLT. THE AIRSPEED WAS ALSO HIGH AT 100 KTS IAS. BRAKING DID NOT STOP THE ACFT ON THE 5500 FT RWY AND THE ACFT CONTINUED OFF THE RWY INTO A DITCH. A WITNESS REPORTED THAT THE ACFT LANDED HALF WAY DOWN THE RWY AND THAT THE BRAKES WERE SMOKING DURING THE ROLL-OUT. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
