Probable cause

The pilot’s failure to achieve the approach criteria for the available runway landing distances published in the POH, likely as a result of the steeper-than-normal approach and the required left turn on short final to avoid the terrain surrounding the airport. Contributing to the accident were a lower runway friction than that assumed by the airframe manufacturer and tire cornering forces imparted during the landing roll, which reduced the airplane’s reduced braking effectiveness, which when combined with a high approach speed, increased the required stopping distance beyond the runway distance available. Also contributing to the accident was the operator’s lack of consideration of airport topography in its Destination Airport Analysis Program.
