Blackbushe Accident?
I live not far from Blackbushe and have heard reports of an accident involving a landing business jet just after 3pm today. The airport is closed as is the main A30 road nearby. I hope the occupants are OK.
Apparently a visiting Phenom landed long and quite fast, hit the bank at the end and came to a rest in the auction site car park, then catching fire.
Ambulance Service Tweets suggest 4 soles on board but no word on them yet.

Not specific to this incident although maybe ?
What possesses an experienced pilot who has landed at a short runway many times to allow the aircraft to float and touchdown way down from the numbers
We all get things wrong but a go around is obvious not a wing and a prayer attempt at landing long which may have resulted in a tragic loss of life

Apart from which, doesn't seem from the AAIB initial report that the cause had much to do with over-stretching a competent single pilot.
from the initial AAIB report what conclusion do you come to mechanical or fuel ? bad weather? suicide?
