Circumstances:
Following a wrong approach configuration, the four engine airplane landed too far down on runway 25 and was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It overran and came to rest. While all nine occupants escaped uninjured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the crew completed a wrong approach configuration, making a steep turn too late on final. The following contributing factors were reported:
- The aircraft' speed at touchdown was excessive,
- As the aircraft was too high on approach, it landed too far down the runway, approximately a third past the runway threshold,
- The crew failed to initiate a go-around maneuver,
- Poor crew coordination.
