Without looking at the charts, runway 18 is just under 7,100 feet long, figure ~ 5,600 roll out on a damp surface. Early reports indicate the aircraft was a half mile short (on the North side) of runway 18. Perhaps a slight quartering tail wind with winds reported "variable." Non precision approaches to RWY 18; RNAV GPS & LOC available to 18.
Condolences to family, friends and co-workers.
