| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot had flown about one hour and was returning to the departure airport for a full stop landing. During the landing phase of the flight, the airplane touched down at the mid-field point of the 2600 foot long grass runway, bounced, 'floated,' and then touched down again. The pilot reported that the ground roll-out speed was fast, and he could not stop the airplane on the runway. The airplane rolled off the end of the runway, and collided with a ten by twenty foot utility building. No mechanical problems with the airplane were reported by the pilot. According to aircraft performance data, the airplane would require approximately 520 feet ground roll for a normal landing and approximately 1250 feet of runway for a landing over a 50 foot obstacle.
Probable Cause: the pilot misjudged his distance/airspeed during the approach to land, and touched down long on the runway.
