A pilot landing on an icy runway touched down 2,800 ft from the threshold, applied go-around power but aborted, and ran off the runway end, causing the left landing gear to collapse.

Approach and Landing Decision

The pilot was conducting an ILS approach to Runway 20L. Winds were reported as easterly at 12 knots with gusts to 20 knots. A wind check at the outer marker indicated winds from 100 degrees at 8 knots. Air traffic control authorized the pilot to land on Runway 20L or to circle to land on Runway 09 at his discretion. After a subsequent wind check of 100 degrees at 10 knots, the pilot elected to land on Runway 20L, citing its length and environmental conditions.

Touchdown and Go-Around Attempt

As the aircraft crossed the runway numbers, the tower issued winds from 100 degrees at 17 knots. The aircraft touched down approximately 2,800 feet down the 5,001-foot runway, which was reported as icy. The pilot applied power for a go-around but determined the maneuver could not be completed safely. He then retarded the throttles and applied the brakes, but could not stop the aircraft within the remaining runway length.

Runway Excursion

In an attempt to turn off the runway onto the end taxiway, the nose was yawed to the right, and the airplane ran off the runway end in that attitude. The aircraft went partially down an embankment, and the left landing gear collapsed.
