| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that 'while practicing [a] short field approach, I landed a little shorter than planned.' The aircraft impacted the up-sloping terrain short of the threshold to the pilot's 900 foot long, turf landing strip and nosed over, coming to rest approximately 18 feet beyond the gear contact with the up-sloping edge. The left main landing gear folded aft upon ground impact.
Probable Cause: The pilot-in-command's misjudgment of distance/altitude on final approach, and overload of the left main landing gear. A factor was the embankment at the end of the landing strip.
