Circumstances:
On final approach to Santo Ângelo Airport, the crew encountered crosswinds up to 35 knots gusting. The airplane floated and eventually landed too far down the runway 29. After touchdown, the crew initiated the braking maneuver but the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance, overran and came to rest into a ravine. All 13 occupants were rescued while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. As the landing procedure was incorrect, the crew should initiate a go-around.
