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
Pilot checked braking on icy sod runway before takeoff and it seemed to be all right. Upon returning to land the pilot noticed a farmer driving cattle near the landing threshold so he decided to land long instead of going around. Using half flaps he landed 835 feet down the 2200 foot runway. After landing he discovered braking was not holding. He braced himself and slid off the end of the runway. The aircraft went over a dike and into a ditch. The icy runway was partiallymelted and more slippery than it had been before takeoff.
