Read the full NTSB narrative
The airplane overran the end of runway 12 and encountered a ravine. The pilot reported the airplane had lost all electrical power while in cruise flight. The pilot stated that an airplane taxied onto the runway as he was on final approach. He decided to land over the airplane, and touched down approximately 3/4 down the runway. The flaps were not available due to the electrical failure. The airplane subsequently overran the end of the runway. Subsequent to the accident, the Safety Board investigator-in-charge (IIC) performed a normal start of the engine utilizing an auxiliary power unit. The engine started with no hesitation and ran at various power settings with no anomalies. Inspection of the electrical system revealed that the alternator had an open field, resulting in the complete discharge of the electrical system.
