Summary:

The pilot judged he was high on the approach and increased the aircraft바카라 사이트™s rate of descent to compensate, which probably also increased its airspeed. The aircraft touched down but, despite the use of maximum braking, overran the runway and came to an abrupt halt in the airfield바카라 사이트™s boundary hedge.

The pilot considered that it might have been better to go around when he realised he was high on the approach, especially given the short landing distance (505 m).
