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 had difficulty locating the airport at his destination. He touched down at a point more than halfway down the 3000 foot runway and realizing he would be unable to stop the aircraft, attempted a go-around. The main landing gear struck a roadside curb, pitching the aircraft upward and turning the aircraft to the left. The aircraft struck the ground in a near flat attitude on a creek bank.
