Narrative:
The occupants of the airplane reported that the airplane landed on the first 1/3 of a 2,605 foot long runway, and initially they did not feel any deceleration. As the airplane neared the end of the runway, a passenger called for brakes, and brakes were applied. Skid marks were found from the right main wheel for 280 feet, followed by skid marks from both wheels for an additional 525 feet prior to departing the runway. The airplane traveled across 23 feet of grass, momentarily became airborne, and settled into lower terrain. No evidence of a mechanical failure or malfunction was found. The headwinds were estimated between 4 and 8 knots. According to the flight manual, the airplane required 1,755 feet to clear a 50 foot obstacle and stop on the runway at maximum landing weight, calm winds, 2,500 feet elevation.

Probable Cause: The pilot's delay in applying the brakes during the landing rollout.
