## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

  - airport facilities,runway/landing area condition - icy (contributing factor)
  - planned approach - improper, pilot in command (cause)
  - go-around - not performed, pilot in command (cause)
  - proper touchdown point - exceeded, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water encounter with terrain/water, landing - roll
  - terrain condition - dirt bank/rising embankment (contributing factor)
  - terrain condition - ditch (contributing factor)

## 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.

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
