What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot stated he was returning to his private airstrip from carson city, NV. He stated his GPS indicated the winds were out of the west at 600-800' AGL, therefore he set up to land to the west on the 1800' strip. The pilot stated landed long, was unable to stop on the remaining airstrip, overran the end, and rolled into an irrigation ditch filled with water, which drains into the boise river. He indicated he believed his speed was 20 mph as he entered the ditch. Both the pilot and sole passenger were uninjured. The aircraft received substantial damage.
