Analysis
  
According to the pilot, he landed the airplane on the 1,800-ft-long asphalt runway in the rain at 70 mph with full flaps. He reported that, on final, he had considered conducting a go-around due to wind and weather, but "we were low, slow, and 130 pounds below maximum gross weight with very dynamic wind conditions at the time and …apartment buildings about 400 yards beyond the end of runway 19." During the landing, he touched down with a right crosswind, about 600 ft beyond the runway threshold.
  
He recalled that he retracted the flaps and pulled the control wheel all the way aft to put as much weight as possible on the main wheels, but he "felt our ground speed was fast and we must have a tailwind." He applied heavy braking, and as the end of the runway approached, he applied full left rudder to avoid a gully that was just beyond the end of the runway. The airplane exited the end of the runway and veered left. The airplane entered the gully and impacted vegetation.
  
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right-wing spar and aileron.
  
The nearest METAR was 10 nautical miles east of the accident site, and it reported that the wind was from 270° at 13 knots, gusting to 20 knots. The visibility was 10 statute miles with light rain.
  
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
  
Per the National Transportation Safety Board Pilot Aircraft Accident Report, the pilot noted that the accident could have been prevented by initiating a go-around after he realized that he could not land in the first third of the runway. He noted that the approaching rain and wind conditions added personal pressure to land before conditions deteriorated. Additionally, he reported that under normal, dry conditions, heavy braking was required to prevent an overrun.
  
Probable Cause and Findings

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
The pilot's unstabilized approach and failure to go around in rainy, gusting crosswind conditions, which resulted in a runway overrun. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's self-induced pressure to land due to the deteriorating weather conditions.

On November 6, 2020, at 2045 eastern standard time, an Piper PA-28-140, N9993W, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident near Greenville, Michigan. The commercial pilot and two passengers were uninjured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

The pilot stated that during the night cross country flight, he flew to and landed at two airports prior to returning to the departure airport. Before approaching the departure airport, he performed two steep turns and a power-off stall. He then performed a low pass about 500 ft over runway 18/36 to check for deer prior to a straight-in approach for landing to runway 28. During a right turn for the approach, the engine lost power and subsequent engine restart attempt were unsuccessful. He stated that he could still hear some engine noise and tried to use the throttle to pump fuel. He stated there was a slight rise in engine speed when he first pumped the throttle. He stated he did not look at the tachometer or oil pressure gauge to determine if the engine was still running. He did not check the mags due to the low altitude but saw that the magneto switch was on BOTH. He then performed a forced landing on a partially harvested corn field. During the landing, the airplane sustained substantial damage that included damage to the firewall, fuselage, left wing, and right wing.

When the pilot was asked about his use of the fuel quantity gauges to verify fuel level, he stated he does not look at them because they are only accurate when empty. He stated he does his planning and keeps track of fuel burn on paper. The pilot stated he switched from the left fuel tank to the right fuel tank at 1954, from right fuel tank to left fuel tank at 2025, and before entering the airport traffic pattern, he switched back to right fuel tank to be on fullest fuel tank. He stated that based upon his fuel consumption calculations, there should have been 7 gallons of fuel remaining in each fuel tank.

Post-accident examination of the airplane revealed about 1 pint of 100 low lead (100LL) was present in the left fuel tank and about 12 gallons of 100LL was present in the right fuel tank.

Analysis

At the conclusion of a positioning flight for maintenance, the pilot of the twin-engine airplane joined the airport traffic pattern at the destination airport. During the landing flare, the pilot began pulling back on what he thought were the throttle levers, but was instead the propeller control levers, which he pulled into the feather position. When the propellers started feathering, he thought that he had lost power on both engines. He landed the airplane "long" on the remaining runway. It subsequently traveled off the end of the runway, through the airport perimeter security fence, crossed a roadway, and came to rest. During the runway overrun, the airplane was substantially damaged.

After the accident, the pilot realized that he had been flying the twin-engine accident airplane like he typically flew his high performance single-engine airplane, and believed that was why he retarded the propeller control levers. Review of photographs provided by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector showed that unlike the pilot's high performance single-engine airplane, which had its throttle control located on the left side of the control console with the propeller control in the middle, the twin engine accident airplane had its propeller control levers located on the left side of the control console and the throttle control levers in the middle. According to FAA Airworthiness records, the twin engine accident airplane was manufactured in 1980. Review of the twin-engine airplane manufacturer's technical information indicated that it was not until 1984 that the manufacturer changed the instrument panel layout and relocated the throttle, propeller, and mixture controls to industry-standard positions, similar to those in the pilot's high performance single-engine airplane.
