The pilot was simulating a forced landing from the downwind position for runway 31. He set the power at idle and turned the airplane towards the runway. During the landing on the 2,880-foot long by 100-foot wide grass airstrip, he landed the airplane "long and fast, failed to stop, and hit [a] fence post at the end of the runway." The operator/owner safety recommendation block stated "Better pilot judgment, electing to do a go-around rather than land long." The weather observation facility at the departure airport, reported the wind from 180 degrees at 8 knots, and the density altitude was calculated at 2,352 feet.
Probable Cause: The pilot misjudged his altitude and airspeed, and his failure to perform a go-around.
