The aircraft floated during landing flare and touched down over half the way down the 3,700-foot runway. The pilot initiated a go-around, but aborted the go-around when he realized the aircraft would not clear trees and telephone wires at the end of the runway. The aircraft could not be stopped on the remaining runway and collided with a dirt bank and nosed after overrunning the runway.
Probable Cause: The pilot's misjudgment of distance and his delay in initiating a go around. Contributing was the pilot's improper landing flare.
