Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PLT HAD ATTEMPTED A LOCALIZER APCH TO FAYETTEVILLE, AK, AND STATED THAT HIS VOR INDICATOR WOULD NOT HOLD COURSE. THE PLT THEN ELECTED TO ABORT THE APCH AND LAND AT A PVT STRIP NEAR THE FAYETTEVILLE VOR. THE PLT WAS ABLE TO LAND AT THE STRIP BUT ACCORDING TO WITNESSES, HE HELD ENG POWER TOO LONG AND DID NOT BEGIN BRAKING UNTIL 1000 FT OF RWY LENGTH REMAINED. A WITNESS STATED THE PLT ATTEMPTED A GROUND LOOP, BUT THE ACFT SLID SIDEWAYS UNTIL STRIKING A STEEL POST AND WIRE BARRIER.
