What happened
The Beech King Air E-90 was conducting a non-precision localizer approach under instrument meteorological conditions. The last weather briefing provided to the pilot indicated an indefinite ceiling of 100 feet with the sky obscured, visibility of 3/4 mile, and conditions of rain and fog. A special weather observation recorded after the incident noted only that visibility had increased to 1 mile.
The aircraft broke out of the clouds in a steep descent and touched down approximately 3,400 feet from the approach end of the 4,637-foot runway. This landing point left only 1,200 feet of remaining runway for the aircraft to stop. Witnesses estimated the touchdown location, confirming the aircraft ran off the departure end of the runway.
There was no record in the control tower logs of a landing clearance being issued to the pilot. Additionally, there was no record of the pilot reporting arrival at the final approach fix inbound, as instructed by air traffic control. The minimum descent altitude for this approach was 492 feet above the airport elevation, and the visibility minimums were set at 1 mile.
The aircraft sustained substantial damage during the overrun. The crew of two and six passengers received minor injuries. No fatalities were reported.
