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 acft mushed into tall corn off the end of the rwy during an attempted go-around. The plt said he landed long on the 2170 ft turf rwy in calm air and did not think he could stop so a go-around was initiated. He said a seat belt interfered with the operation of the flap handle and an incorrect setting resulted. The airspeed as marginal when the flaps were being changed and as a wing dropped the plt said power was reduced to prevent a 'torque roll.' The plt said he saw that he was not going to 'make it' so he concentrated of keeping the wings level. The acft nosed over in the corn. The plts total flt experience in this make acft was reported as 37 hours.
