## Narrative

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

(-23) ALTHOUGH THE PILOT CLAIMS TO HAVE LANDED JUST PAST NUMBERS AND PULLED POWER BACK HE CLAIMED HE COULDN'T SLOW DOWN WITH BRAKES. PHYSICAL EVIDENCE AT THE SCENE CONTRADICTS THIS. THE RUNWAY IS 2400 FT, SKID MARKS OF APPROXIMATELY 300 FEET (157 PACES) TO THE END OF RUNWAY, TRAVELING THROUGH APPROXIMATELY 30 YARDS OF HEAVY GRASS, DOWN A DITCH AND OUT OF THE DITCH AND ACROSS AN ACCESS RAMP. THIS WITH THE FACT THAT THE PROP DAMAGE INDICATES THE ENGINE WAS OPERATING AT POWER. A LONG LANDING, A FAST LANDING OR FAILURE TO PULL POWER IS INDICATED.
