Narrative:
An IAI 1125 Astra SP jet, N771DX, sustained substantial damage when it experienced a runway excursion upon landing on runway 30R (4199' long). Airport lighting and equipment was struck. The two occupants onboard were uninjured.


Probable Cause and Findings
The pilot landed long and failed to deploy the thrust reversers, which resulted in a runway overrun and impact with terrain. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s decision to operate the airplane as a single pilot instead of the required minimum crew of two pilots.
