A Piper PA-46-350P, N4165P, overran the runway and collided with marshy terrain at Palo Alto, California. The private pilot received minor injuries and the three passengers were not injured. The airplane was substantially damaged.
Probable Cause and Findings
The pilot's misjudged distance and speed on final approach, which led to a long landing and a runway overrun. Also causal was the pilot's inadequate in-flight decision to continue flight with indications of apparent serious system anomalies, failure to divert to a more suitable destination alternate, and failure to perform a go-around when an overshoot became obvious.
Factors in the accident were the short runway at Palo Alto and the pressure placed on the pilot by the apparent indications of multiple system failures and the potential for a catastrophic engine failure. The cause of the erratic engine instrument indications was not resolved.
