THE AIRPORT PROVIDED THE PILOT WITH AN AIRPORT ADVISORY INDICATING THAT RUNWAY 35 WAS RECOMMENDED DUE TO THE SURFACE WINDS COMING FROM THE WEST/NORTHWEST AT 15 KNOTS. THE PILOT ELECTED TO LAND TO THE SOUTH ON RUNWAY 17. ON THE INITIAL LANDING ATTEMPT THE PILOT EXECUTED A GO-AROUND. THE PILOT FAILED TO ATTAIN THE PROPER TOUCH DOWN POINT AND INSTEAD OF EXECUTING A GO-AROUND THE PILOT LANDED LONG ON THE SECOND LANDING. REALIZING THAT THE REMAINING RUNWAY WAS INSUFFICIENT TO STOP THE AIRPLANE ON THE RUNWAY, THE PILOT ELECTED TO TAKEOFF. SHORTLY AFTER LIFT-OFF THE MAIN LANDING GEAR STRUCK THE 3-FOOT HIGH STONE EMBANKMENT LOCATED ABOUT 120 FEET BEYOND THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY.
