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
During his approach for landing, the pilot became concerned about other aircraft taxiing near the runway. He reported that his landing procedure was interrupted as he was waiting for one of the planes to stop short of the runway. Also, he reported aborting his landing when he encountered insufficient braking. During the go-around, the plane ran off the end of the runway and into muddy terrain. The pilot cut the power and the plane skidded to a stop in a water and mud filled depression. The brake pads had been recently replaced, but no mechanical malfunctions or failures were reported.
