Whatever went wrong, it sure seems like over runs are in the news more often these days. This will eventually affect all operators in ways yet to be determined.
CRQ has never been my favorite airport to visit in bizjets because of the shortish length and fair-to-poor condition of the runway. However, it is widely considered to be adequate at lower operating weights for most bizjet types, including 500 series Cessnas. Over the past few years, the airport has added many new corporate hangars and glitzed up their image as it transforms itself from a suburban prop GA airport into an upscale corporate jet port. The final step of extending the runway is said to be in the works for the near future.
Sincere condolences to all who knew them,
