Approach and Go-Around
The pilot initially planned a GPS approach to runway 23, which was into the wind, but weather conditions were below minimums for that approach. He then chose to conduct an instrument landing system (ILS) approach to runway 5 in the opposite direction. While approximately 100 feet above the decision height for the ILS approach, the pilot did not have the runway environment in sight and began motions for a go-around but did not increase engine power.
Landing and Runway Overrun
After observing the runway centerline markings, the airplane, due to excess speed and a tailwind, floated and landed long. The pilot estimated the touchdown occurred about 1,000 feet before the departure end of the 7,001-foot-long runway at a speed of 85 knots. He applied the brakes, but the runway was wet and he did not feel any deceleration. The pilot left the flaps fully extended as the airplane traveled off the end of the runway, coming to rest upright in a grass area.
Weather and Aircraft Condition
The recorded weather at the airport around the time of the accident included an 11-knot tailwind. The pilot stated there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions with the airplane.
Damage
Examination of the wreckage by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed damage to the landing gear and lower fuselage.
