The pilot said the twin-engine airplane '...landed long, went off the end of the runway and collapsed the right main gear.' The pilot said the airplane floated during the landing flare that caused the airplane to land long. The on-scene investigation revealed the airplane's main landing gear tires skidded 1,300 feet on the runway. The skid marks were curved and left the runway as they went beyond its end. The airplane skidded about 20 feet on the grass before coming to a stop. The runway at the accident airport was 3,000 feet long and 60 feet wide. Surface wind and temperature reports at 2 airports, about 30 miles west and 40 miles north of the accident airport showed variable wind direction and wind from 190 degrees. The wind speeds were 5 and 7 knots respectively.
