Read the full NTSB narrative

THE AIRPLANE OVERRAN RWY 26 DURING LDG, FOLLOWING AN SDF APPCH. THE PLT REPORTED THAT HE BROKE OUT OF THE WX ABOUT 1 MILE FROM THE RWY, WITH 2 TO 3 MILES VISIBILITY. HE SUBSEQUENTLY LANDED 'LONG' ON THE WET RWY WITH A TAILWIND, AND FOUND THAT BRAKING WAS NOT EFFECTIVE. THE AIRPLANE RAN OFF THE RWY END AND COLLIDED WITH THE SDF EQUIPMENT BOX. THE NEAREST WX REPORTING STATION WAS LOCATED APPROX 10 MI AWAY AT CAMPBELL AAF (HOP). A SPECIAL OBSERVATION MADE AT HOP REPORTED SKY PARTIALLY OBSCURED, VISIBILITY 1/16 MILE IN FOG & WIND 040 AT 6 KTS. HOP APPROACH GAVE THE WX INFO TO THE PLT SHORTLY AFTER INITIAL CONTACT. THE SDF 26 APPCH PLATE STATED THAT THE MINIMUM VISIBILITY FOR BOTH STRAIGHT-IN & CIRCLE-TO-LAND APPCHS WAS 1 MILE.
