What happened
During an approach to runway 30, the pilot was maintaining a target airspeed of 85 knots. At approximately 100 feet above ground level, the pilot observed an excessive sink rate and noted that the airspeed had increased to approximately 97 knots. In an attempt to reduce the sink rate, the pilot attempted to trade airspeed for a shallower descent.
The aircraft landed approximately 2 feet short of the runway centerline/pavement edge and struck the lip of the pavement. The impact sheered off the left main gear, which remained attached to the trunnion only by the brake lines as the aircraft traveled down the runway. The aircraft came to a rest approximately 600 feet down the runway. During the excursion, the left wing also struck a taxiway sign.
