Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot reported that his speed was fast on base leg and final approach. After touchdown he bounced back into the air and added power for a go-around, however, he failed to return the carburetor heat control to the cold position and the aircraft did not accererate adequately. The pilot reportedly felt a stall buffet and decided to abort the takeoff. The aircraft touched down with approximately 200 feet of runway remaining, ran off the end, and collided with a drainage ditch.
