## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT WAS ATTEMPTING TO LAND ON RUNWAY 11 AT THE DIAMOND POINT AIRPORT AND LANDED SHORT BY 15 FEET ON A SHARP GRASSY INCLINE. THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED HARD ON THE RUNWAY AND PITCHED UP TO ABOUT A 40 DEGREE ANGLE. THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE RUNWAY TO THE LEFT INTO THE GRASS AND CONTINUED FOR APPROXIMATELY 400 FEET IN A STRAIGHT LINE TOWARD THE HOUSES ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT ADDED FULL POWER TO INITIATE A GO-AROUND AND CLIPPED SEVERAL TREES. THE AIRCRAFT ENTERED A STEEP ANGLE OF ATTACK AND APPEARED TO HAVE STALLED TO THE LEFT. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED BETWEEN TWO HOUSES AND BURST INTO FLAMES.
