Note
One spelling does both jobs, as with any regular verb: the plane pancaked (past) and the plane has pancaked (participle). Which constructions it allows depends on the meaning. Landing badly, collapsing floor by floor, or lying flat are things a subject does on its own, so they have no passive. Flattening something violently takes an object, and only that use yields passives like the car was pancaked by a falling tree.
