Probable cause

The captain’s failure to perform a go-around following an unstable approach while landing with a gusty tailwind, which resulted in the airplane touching down long on the wet runway with insufficient distance to stop. Contributing to the accident was the crew’s unawareness of the prevailing winds and first officer’s decision to not call a go-around.
