Narrative:The Beech 1900 was used to transport company personnel to the Black Mesa Coal Mine. The flight departed from Flagstaff about 07:00.
According to information provided by the operator, the flight initially flew the GPS runway 02 approach down to minimums and executed a missed approach. A second approach was made and the airplane touched down even with the midfield windsock. The captain applied brakes and full reverse on both propellers; however, the airplane did not slow down and continued off the end of the runway. The airplane impacted and knocked down a chain link fence and continued into downsloping rough terrain. The landing gear collapsed and the airplane slid to a stop.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "The flight crew's failure to execute a missed approach, which resulted in a runway excursion after landing. Contributing to the accident were the inoperative lights, weather conditions below published approach minimums, and the slush contaminated runway."
