Accident Overview
On final approach to runway 02, the copilot informed the captain that the approach speed was 20 knots higher than the reference speed. The captain indicated he would correct the speed, but the aircraft landed farther down the runway than intended. The touch down point was about 993 meters before the end of the 2,010-meter runway, which has a displaced threshold providing a landing distance available of 1,700 meters. At touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 142 knots, approximately 14 knots above the reference speed for the existing conditions and weight and balance.
Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the aircraft overran the runway. It went down an embankment, crossed a road, and came to rest against a second embankment, broken in two. All six occupants suffered minor injuries, and the aircraft was destroyed.

Probable Cause
The official probable cause, as stated in the investigation, is: "The accident was the consequence of the following: - The crew completed an approach at a speed higher than the reference speed for weight and balance specified in the aircraft checklist, - Lack of specific information on the length of the runway at Toncontín International Airport by the crew for the approach to runway 02, when landing almost halfway down the runway leaving little distance for effective braking of the systems, - A late activation of the thrust reverser systems about 0:13 seconds after touchdown was considered as a contributing factor, - Existing weather conditions were not considered as a contributing factor."
