Interesting reading.

They were landing on one of the *long* legs, and (had they not been coming in too "hot") should have been able to complete the landing and stop in less than half the distance to the intersection.

The flaps were found still in +30, when the POH says to use 0 for a go around.

Bad of the CAP guys to not know and follow the local rules, of course, but it sounds as if the guys in the Baron would have crashed if a dog had wandered onto the runway.

Yes, well, the NTSB doesn't have all things right on that airport, either. If you look at it and use the google measuring tool, it is roughly 3600 feet from the approach end of 31 to the intersection with 3. Not sure how 3600 feet to the intersection -2200 feet to clear a 50 foot obstacle, land and stop, equals 2300 feet remaining. And the "roughly 2000 feet down the runway and still not on the ground" is probably, "The plane was near the taxiway, and still hadn't touched down." That intersection is about 2300 feet down runway 31.

As for the flaps, well, he shoved the power up and probably got too focused on trying to do something else (pitched up way too aggressively) and never bothered with touching gear or flap handles.

Sad situation for all involved.
