Phase of flightThe stage of the flight when things started to go wrong: standing, taxi, takeoff, initial climb, en route, maneuvering, approach or landing. Glossary
Landing · landing roll
First occurrenceThe single coded event the NTSB judges best describes what happened (records from 2008 on). Older records name the first occurrence in the sequence instead. Glossary
Airframe, component or system failure
Also codedOther events the NTSB coded in the sequence, such as a wire strike after a loss of power. Flight Findings uses them for its kinds of event. Glossary

NTSB narrative

The aircraft touched down but did not slow during rollout. The aircraft drifted to the right edge of the runway three times and puffs of smoke were seen in the area of the main landing gear. After rolling the length of the runway and entering the displaced threshold at the end of the runway, the pilot attempted to abort the landing. On the initial climb, the aircraft struck a light pole, overhead utilities, and then crashed into a building. An inspection of the turbocharger, brake system, and powerplant controls revealed no conclusive discrepancies.

Probable cause

an undetermined aircraft system malfunction, and the pilot's delayed remedial action in response to insufficient braking action and/or inability to control engine power.

  • Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
  • Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: local date, investigation status. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
  • The date is the local date; the NTSB stores the UTC date 1995-07-29.
  • API snapshot SHA-256: e58d5c87d82cb7959bee53e3dcf5536a9bb399777d54906e748b6655fe398104; retrieved 2026-09-20T23:41:05.401Z.
