Circumstances:
Following a wrong approach configuration, the airplane landed too far down the runway 27, about 450 meters past the runway threshold, at an excessive speed of 130 knots. Upon touchdown, the right tire burst. Out of control, the airplane veered off runway and came to rest. While all four occupants escaped uninjured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
