Accident Overview
The accident involved a personal flight under 14 CFR Part 91. The pilot, who holds an airline transport pilot certificate, reported that he left his departure airport too late and arrived at a remote airstrip as it was getting dark. Because of the low light conditions, he landed too far down the runway, went off the end, and nosed over. The pilot stated that there were no preaccident mechanical problems with the airplane.
Pilot's Account
According to the pilot, the accident sequence began with his decision to depart later than planned. He acknowledged that this led to his arrival at the remote airstrip during twilight. The pilot indicated that the darkness made it difficult to judge the landing point, resulting in a touchdown well beyond the runway threshold. The airplane then overran the runway surface and nosed over.
