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 plt was landing on a 2300 ft rwy with a 80 degree x-wind. The acft bounced hard on touchdown and the plt attempted a go-around with 25 degrees of flaps extended. The airspeed was deteriorating so the plt elected to re-land. During the roll-out the acft ran off the end of the rwy and collided with the embankment of a creek.
