NTSB accident and incident record under N262Y

ERA11FA001Accident on October 1, 2010 at Manteo, NC: minor injuries, substantial damage.

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Cessna 550 · serial 550-0291

The pilot-in-command's failure to maintain proper airspeed and his failure to initiate a go-around, which resulted in the airplane touching down too fast on a short, wet runway and a subsequent runway overrun. Contributing to the accident was the copilot's failure to adequately monitor the approach and call for a go around and the flight crew's lack of proper crew resource management.
