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
Upon landing on rwy 29 the plt became concerned with another acft landing on rwy 11. Although the landing was long the plt elected to remain on the ground due to uncertainty of the other acft's position. When he reached the end of the rwy he turned the acft to avoid overrunning and hitting a fence. The acft groundlooped and the right main rear collapsed.
