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
On final the pilot realized he was late in reducing power and attempted to correct by abruptly bringing power back. A high sink rate was experienced and the pilot immediately applied full power. The aircraft impacted short of the runway.
