What happened
Following a precautionary shutdown of the number 2 engine, the pilot diverted to an alternate airport located closer than the intended destination. During the landing phase, the aircraft encountered tailwind conditions and touched down at a speed slightly higher than ideal. As the pilot applied the brakes, the braking system experienced fade due to continuous use. Consequently, the aircraft was unable to stop within the available distance and overran the end of the runway. The incident resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage.
Findings
- The pilot failed to maintain the proper touchdown speed.
- The pilot elected to land with a tailwind without verifying that the remaining runway length was sufficient for the landing.
