The pilot's first approach to the 2,200-foot paved strip was high and fast, and he performed a go-around. During his second approach, he touched down about 700 feet from the approach end and applied brakes. The pilot determined that there was insufficient distance remaining to abort the landing, and the airplane ran off the end of the runway down an embankment. The Owner's Manual listed the total required landing distance to be 1,320 feet, with a ground roll of 520 feet, to clear a 50 foot obstacle.
Probable Cause: The pilot's misjudgment of speed and distance during the landing.
