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 chose to land on a private farm landing strip with a 2000 foot sod-surface runway and 50 foot trees at the north end of the strip. The pilot touched down long, and attempted a go-around but the aircraft contacted tall brush. The aircraft veered to the left and collided with a power line.
