The NTSB's narrative final · quoted from the NTSB record
The airline transport pilot reported that while landing on runway 18, he inadvertently touched down approximately halfway down the 5,455 foot long, asphalt covered runway. The pilot said that after the initial touchdown, he applied maximum braking and full reverse power. The airplane continued off the end off the runway, eventually coming to rest approximately 35 feet beyond the runway threshold. During the overrun, the airplane's right main gear collapsed, and the right wing struck the ground. In a subsequent written report, the pilot reported that the aircraft's right main wheel brake locked up during the landing roll. He also reported that he was landing with a tailwind. Runway 18 is serviced by a 2-box, 3 degree VASI.

About this page
Everything above comes from the NTSB's public accident database: the narrative, probable cause and findings are the NTSB's own words, and the coded tables behind its report (pilot, aircraft, flight, weather, injuries, sequence of events) are written out in plain English. Pilots' ages, home towns and medical details are left out on purpose. The documents and photographs are the NTSB's docket, the folder of records gathered during the investigation, shown as the NTSB released them (the NTSB redacts some personal details first) and listed under the NTSB's own titles. This site's own text never names pilots, passengers or anyone else involved. A preliminary report describes what is known soon after the event and can change; the final report, with the probable cause, usually follows one to two years later and this page is refreshed when it does. Case number SEA03CA138.
