THE PILOT HAD CONDUCTED TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS AT A LOCAL AIRPORT, AND THEN RETURNED TO RICHMOND FOR LANDING. THE PILOT STATED, '...I POSITIONED MYSELF AND MADE A ROUTINE APPROACH TO RUNWAY 11. [THE AIRPLANE] FLOATED TOO FAR DOWN THE FIELD AND SUBSEQUENTLY RAN OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY IMPACTING SOME TREES AT THE END....' ADDITIONALLY, THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THERE WERE NO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS OR FAILURES WITH THE AIRPLANE, AND THAT THE WINDS WERE CALM. RUNWAY 11 IS 2,130 FEET LONG AND 30 FEET WIDE.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to obtain the proper touchdown point which resulted in insufficient runway stopping distance and a subsequent overrun of the runway, and collision with trees.
