About 1750 e.d.t., July 9, 1978, Allegheny Airlines Inc., Flight 453, a British Aerospace Corporation BAC 1-11, overran the departure end of runway 28 at the Monroe County Airport, Rochester, New York, after completing a precision approach and landing in visual flight conditions. After the aircraft overran the end of the runway, it crossed a drainage ditch and came to rest 728 ft past the end of the runway threshold. Although the aircraft was damaged substantially when it hit the drainage ditch, there was no fire. There were 73 passengers and a crew of 4 on board; one passenger was injured seriously. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the accident was the captain's complete lack of awareness of airspeed, vertical speed, and aircraft performance throughout an ILS approach and landing in visual meteorological conditions which resulted in his landing the aircraft at an excessively high speed and with insufficient runway remaining for stopping the aircraft, but with sufficient aircraft performance capability to reject the landing well after touchdown. Contributing to the accident was the first officer's failure to provide required callouts which might have alerted the captain to the airspeed and sink rate deviations. The Safety Board was unable to determine the reason for the captain's lack of awareness or the first officer's failure to provide required callouts.
