Event Location
Probable Cause
The pilot's improper decision to land with a tailwind which resulted in the overrun landing. Factors contributing to the accident include the culvert and the tailwind.
Full Narrative
The pilot of the twin-engine airplane landed long, ran off the end of the runway, and subsequently impacted a concrete culvert. The pilot was able to exit the airplane unassisted; however the passenger on board had to be removed by emergency personnel. The airplane's fuselage and wing sustained substantial damage during the accident. The pilot reportedly landed on runway 07. The weather reporting station at the accident airport reported the wind was from 290 degrees at 7 knots. This calculated to a tailwind of 5.4 knots.
