A Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1+ overshot runway 09 at Ubatuba Airport, SP (UBT), crossed a road and broke up on a beach, bursting into flames.
The pilot was killed, 4 occupants were rescued alive and three persons on the ground were also treated for injuries.

UBT has a single 940 m long asphalt runway (09/27), with the first 380 meters closed for landing, according to the AIP.

The distance from the paved end of runway 09 to the perimeter fence is 135 meters.

Less than 600 M available Runway that's way too short for a plane like that. I could do it in the Pilatus but you'd have to pry my ass off the seat afterwards

Totally.

I've seen various figures for nominal landing distance for the CJ1+ (and, obviously, actual distance depends on the usual factors that apply at the time - weight, speed, wind, braking action, etc).

The smallest cited landing distance I have seen is about 750m, and I have seen as high as 1260m.

Maybe the (reckless) pilot thought they could land in 800-ish metres and saw the runway length was greater than that, but didn't take into account the unavilable length?

Regardless of that, continuing the approach on short final when the runway clearly wasn't long enough is pretty dumb.

This data from an earlier flight of the same aircraft is crazy. I wonder WTF was going on with the pitot-static system, QNH setting or XPDR Mode C?!?!

Suggests (IMO) major problems with the aircraft and/or the pilot(s).

And the runway would have been wet. look at the puddles on the sidewalk.

registration looks like PR-GES not PR-GFS. look at the wreckage photo.
could just be the angle tho

Paulo Seghetto died and a family survived.

Yep. Closest METAR I can find is from Base de Aviação de Taubaté (SBTA) and around the time of the incident there were showers in the vicinity of the airport (VCSH).

Sorry, scratch that. Getting my time zones confused (plus a dose of confirmation bias!). This is the correct METAR for the incident time.
