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
After entering the traffic pattern for the selected runway, plt was informed of surface wind conditions and elected to continue and execute a downwind landing. Upon touchdown, plt raised flaps to assist braking action. During roll-out the plt decided insufficient runway remained for a safe stop and added power for a go-around. He then realized that a go-around was not possible, closed the throttle and locked the brakes. The acft continued beyond the runway onto a rough downslope. Acft downhill progress was arrested by contact with brush.
