Read the full NTSB narrative

DURING ARRIVAL, THE PILOT ELECTED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 26 IN CALM WIND CONDITIONS. DURING THE LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN JUST BEYOND THE INTERSECTION OF RUNWAY 12/30. THE PILOT APPLIED THE BRAKES AS SHE APPROACHED THE GRASSY AREA, WHICH WAS STILL WET FROM A PREVIOUS RAIN. UPON REACHING THE GRASS, NO OBVIOUS BRAKING WAS NOTICED BY THE PILOT. THE PLANE CONTINUED OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND STRUCK A FENCE POST AND A DITCH. THE PILOT FELT THAT THE BRAKES WERE OPERATING, BUT THE PLANE COULD NOT BE STOPPED ON THE WET GRASS.
