Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PILOT STATED THAT HE HAD NEVER BEEN AT THIS AIRPORT BEFORE. DURING ARRIVAL, HE LANDED ON RUNWAY 27 TOWARD THE SETTING SUN WITH A CROSSWIND FROM THE LEFT. HE STATED THAT HE TOUCHED DOWN FIRMLY ON THE FIRST 1/3 OF THE RUNWAY, THEN THE AIRCRAFT FLOATED BRIEFLY. HE REPORTED THAT HE GOT ALL WHEELS ON THE GROUND AND THE AIRSPEED BELOW VSO WITH ABOUT 1/3 OF THE RUNWAY REMAINING. FULL BRAKES WERE APPLIED, BUT DUE TO THE SUNGLARE, THE PILOT HAD DIFFICULTY JUDGING THE DISTANCE REMAINING. WHEN HE REALIZED HE COULD NOT STOP SAFELY ON THE RUNWAY, HE INITIATED A GO-AROUND AFTER LIFT-OFF AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY, THE AIRCRAFT MUSHED INTO BRUSH AND SMALL TREE STUMPS AND CAME TO REST ABOUT 200 FT FROM THE DEPARTURE END.
