THE PILOT WAS LANDING ON A 1900 FOOT LONG, WET, GRASS STRIP. ACCORDING TO HIM, THE RUNWAY HAD A STEEP UP SLOPE ON THE APPROACH END WITH TREES TO THE LEFT AND A LEFT DOWN SLOPE ON THE DEPARTURE END WITH 20 FOOT TREES NEARBY. THE PILOT STATED THAT THE RUNWAY GRASS WAS FRESHLY CUT AND RAIN HAD RECENTLY FALLEN. AS THE AIRPLANE CROSSED THE THRESHOLD AT 70 MPH WITH FULL FLAPS AND NO POWER, IT TOUCHED DOWN. THE PILOT APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT THEY WERE INEFFECTIVE. THE AIRPLANE BEGAN TO SLIDE ON THE WET RUNWAY. REPORTEDLY, THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN ABOUT ONE THIRD OF THE WAY DOWN THE RUNWAY. IT THEN EXITED THE RUNWAY AND NOSED OVER ONTO TREES. THE PILOT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT DID NOT ATTAIN THE PROPER TOUCHDOWN POINT AND DID NOT GO AROUND WHILE THERE WAS STILL SUFFICIENT SPEED TO DO SO. THE WET RUNWAY GRASS WAS A RELATED FACTOR.
