While landing on Runway 29, a 2,579 foot-long, 50 foot-wide, asphalt runway, the airplane touched down "long" and departed the end of the runway. The airplane then struck a tree and then descended down a 30 foot embankment. The winds reported at an airport located about 17 miles north-northeast of the accident site, were from 360 degrees at 9 knots, with 20 knot gusts.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to obtain the proper touchdown point, which resulted in an overrun. A factor in this accident was the gusty wind condition.
