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 pilot stated he had mad a normal landing on a paved city street in a housing dvelopment thinking that it was the Quincey municipal airport. After the pilot realized he ahd made a mistake a take off was attempted. During the take off the pilot aborted the attempt, and during ground roll went through a fence and ditch before collapsing the nose gear. The seattle sectional chart depicts the Quincey municipal airport as 'other than paved' and the airport/facility directory lists the 09-27 runway as 'treated gravel'.
