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 estimated that he landed about 400 ft past the threshold on a runway that was muddy. He found the braking was insufficient and started a go-around. However, he quickly realized that he would not have flying speed before reaching the end of the runway. He aborted the go-around and the aircraft struck several junked cars at the end of the runway.
