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
The Cessna 180 made a touch and go on a 2100 ft long runway. The touchdown was described as past the first third of the runway. There were two rated pilots and a passenger in the aircraft. The co-pilot thought the aircraft would be unable to clear powerlines at the departure end of the runway and pulled the power off. The aircraft was unable to stop on the remaining runway, ran off the end of the runway, striking some rocks and flipped over.
