| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that on final approach he was concerned about trees bracketing each side of the runway's approach end, and he stayed high to clear them. The airplane touched down onto the turf runway, bounced back into the air, and touched down a second time. The pilot applied brakes, realized he was running out of runway, and applied heavier braking. The airplane started to slide and, despite the pilot's control inputs, overran the end of the runway and impacted a ditch. Subsequently, the left wing was substantially damaged. The pilot reported no mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to attain a touchdown point sufficient to stop the airplane within the length of the runway.
