Read the full NTSB narrative
THE PLT INITIATED A GO-AROUND DURING HIS FIRST LANDING ATTEMPT BECAUSE HE WAS TOO HIGH. DURING THE LANDING HE LANDED ABOUT 300 FT DOWN THE RWY. WHEN HE APPLIED BRAKES THEY WERE INEFFECTIVE & INSUFFICIENT RWY REMAINED TO INITIATE A GO-AROUND. THE ACFT RAN OFF THE END OF THE RWY INTO HIGH GRASS & COLLIDED WITH A DITCH. THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS VISUALLY INSPECTED & ALL SYSTEM COMPONENTS WERE FOUND TO BE WITHIN MANUFACTURER'S LIMITS EXCEPT FOR THE BRAKE DISCS WHICH WERE HEAVILY PITTED FROM RUST. THE WHEELS COULD BE ROTATED WITH FULL BRAKE PRESSURE APPLIED.
