Read the full NTSB narrative
THE AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH A FOUR FOOT HIGH IRRIGATION DITCH 50 FEET FROM THE APPROACH END OF RUNWAY 8 DURING SHORT FINAL. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE HAD PLANNED THE TOUCH DOWN POINT CLOSE TO THE END OF THE RUNWAY BECAUSE THE RUNWAY WAS ONLY 3800 FEET LONG. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE DITCH WAS NOT MENTIONED IN THE FAA AIRPORT/FACILITY DIRECTORY, THE FSS NOTAM SYSTEM, THE COLORADO AIRPORT DIRECTORY, OR THE 1982 AOPA AIRPORT DIRECTORY.
