## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: PILOT REPORTED; CIRCLED OVERHEAD 2 OR 3 ORBITS TO LOOK AT STRIP. MADE LOW APPROACH WITH GO-AROUND. MADE STANDARD PATTERN AND SHORT FIELD FINAL APPROACH WITH TOUCH DOWN CLOSE TO APPROACH END OF RUNWAY. APPLIED BRAKES BUT VERY LITTLE SLOWING, APPLIED AFT YOKE TO HELP SLOW BUT STILL LITTLE APPARENT SLOWING. RAISED FLAPS AND CONTINUED BRAKING. NEARING END OF RUNWAY BUT QUESTIONABLE IF AIRCRAFT WOULD COME TO STOP IN TIME. INCREASED PRESSURE ON LEFT PEDAL TO AVOID NOSING OFF END OF RUNWAY AND DOWN INTO RAVINE WITH THOUGHT OF SIDEWARD SLIDE POSSIBLY INCREASING TIRE FRICTION ON WET GRASS. SLID OFF LEFT CORNER OF RUNWAY AND THROUGH A SMALL WIRE STRUNG FENCE WITH PLASTIC POSTS. NOSE SWUNG RIGHT STOPPING 90 DEGREES TO RIGHT OF RUNWAY HEADING AND LEFT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED JUST PRIOR TO END OF MOVEMENT. TURNED OFF ALL RADIOS, FUEL AND ELECTRICAL AND EXITED AIRCRAFT. NO INJURIES TO PASSENGER OR PILOT. AFTER LOOKING AT RUNWAY ON FOOT, SAW THAT RUNWAY SLOPED DOWN-GRADE IN DIRECTION HE HAD LANDED. WIND TEE INDICATIONS HAD FAVORED LANDING TO THE SOUTH WHILE IN PATTERN.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
