NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that on final approach to the 1,800-foot-long airstrip, his airspeed was 75 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS) 'and dropping' (the aircraft information manual specifies a final approach speed of 60 KIAS until the flare for a short-field landing), and that the wind shifted to a 5-knot tailwind on final. The pilot stated he landed long, and that although he had 'little runway left' during the landing flare, he decided not to go around because of rising terrain and obstructions at the end of the runway. During the landing roll, the pilot locked the brakes and the main landing gear tires blew. The pilot was unable to steer or stop the airplane before it veered to the right and ran off the end of the runway, colliding with a fence before coming to rest. The pilot reported that no mechanical malfunction or failure was involved.
Probable cause
The pilot's excessive airspeed on final approach, his inadequate remedial action, and his failure to attain the proper touchdown point during landing. Factors included a short, confined landing area and a tailwind.

- 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 1999-09-18.
