Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Glendale, Arizona 85307
Tuesady, February 8, 2000 16:00 MST

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot was attempting to land when the aircraft began drifting to the right. He added full power to go-around but when he realized that he was unable to gain altitude, he switched the fuel selector off and turned off the master switch. The aircraft struck a berm located about 1,000 feet east of the runway and 1,000 feet north of the runway threshold and slid another 250 feet. The aircraft was found with the gear extended and full flaps. Winds were variable at 3 knots.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

the pilot's attempt to go-around with inadequate altitude and airspeed available, resulting in a power demand that exceeded the capability of the aircraft. The fully extended gear and flaps were factors in this accident.
