NTSB Factual Report

According to the operator, the foreign certificated pilot reported that "the wind sock gave faulty information" during landing. The airplane exited the departure end of the runway and collided with a drainage culvert.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the engine mounts.

The METAR at the nearest airport reported that about the time of the accident, the wind was from 310° at 5 knots. The pilot landed the airplane on runway 5. The runway length was 2,355ft.

According to the manufacturer's Pilot Operating Handbook the normal landing distance is 595ft.

The operator reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot’s unstabilized approach, which resulted in a long landing and subsequent runway overrun.
