Narrative:The Curtiss C-46F cargo plane made a precautionary landing at Manley Hot Springs Airport in Alaska, USA, following the loss of engine power on one of the two engines.
During the landing in tailwind conditions, the airplane touched down "a little fast," according to the pilot. The airplane was unable to stop and overran the end of the runway, which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage.
On July 24 the wings (outboard of the engines) and tail were removed and the aircraft was towed over the road to a river. From there it was barged to Fairbanks for repairs.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "The pilot's failure to attain the proper touchdown speed and his decision to land with a tailwind without ensuring that there was adequate runway length for the touchdown."
