The pilot set up for landing on runway 27 (2,500' X 50'). When he was approximately on a one-mile final he realized he was a little low and slow, and slowly started adding power. As the airplane came in over the river which borders the runway on the east, about a 1/4 mile final, it experienced a loss of lift and subsequently impacted terrain 50 feet short of the runway. The aircraft veered onto a grassy area where it skidded for 100 yards before coming to rest in an upright position. Both propeller blades were damaged, the nose gear collapsed rearward, the leading edge of the right wing was dented as a result of impacting a runway edge light, and there was substantial damage to the firewall.
Probable Cause: The pilot's misjudgment of speed and distance resulting in a loss of airspeed, stall and undershoot of runway.
