Incident Overview
A twin-engine airplane experienced a runway overrun during landing, resulting in the collapse of the right main landing gear. The pilot reported that the aircraft touched down long after floating during the landing flare.
Landing and Skid Marks
According to the pilot, the airplane floated during the landing flare, causing it to land long and subsequently depart the end of the runway. On-scene investigation revealed that the main landing gear tires left skid marks measuring 1,300 feet on the runway surface. The skid marks were curved and continued beyond the runway end. After leaving the runway, the airplane skidded approximately 20 feet on the grass before coming to a stop.
Runway and Environmental Conditions
The accident airport had a runway 3,000 feet long and 60 feet wide. Surface wind reports from two airports located about 30 miles west and 40 miles north of the accident airport indicated variable wind direction and wind from 190 degrees. Wind speeds were reported as 5 knots and 7 knots, respectively.
Aircraft Damage
The right main landing gear collapsed during the overrun event.
