## Narrative

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

INVESTIGATION REVEALED HE TOUCHED DOWN VERY HARD HALFWAY DOWN A 2400 FT RUNWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. SKID MARKS WERE EVIDENT AND THE PILOT DECIDED TO GO AROUND AND LIFT OFF, THEN CHANGED HIS MIND BECAUSE OF THE REMAINING RUNWAY. THIS TOUCHDOWN WAS FIRM AND THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED OFF THE RUNWAY END, THROUGH A BEAN FIELD, AND CAME TO REST ON A ROAD.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.
