Narrative:
The airplane touched down on the 2,400 foot turf runway at a point approximately 1,400 feet beyond the approach end. The airplane overran the runway and came to rest in a tree line. The pilot said, 'We screwed up...landed a little too fast and a little too long.' The airplane was certificated with treadless tires. The pilot reported the accident could have been avoided by checking the '...condition of a grass runway in reference to dryness of grass when landing with aircraft with certified bald tires, touchdown sooner, [and] leave more rollout space.'

Probable Cause: The pilot misjudged his altitude and airspeed.
