Probable cause
Pilot did not follow procedures/directives in as much as he pushed the throttle forward too fast and the engine was not able to respond.
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 said he was high on the base leg due to a student pilot that was doing touch and go landings. He said that as he turned down the runway, it appeared to be a short runway. He applied power for a go-around, but the engine did not respond fast enough. He continued off the end of the runway, went down a small hill, into a strawberry field. The airplane nosed over to the inverted position.
