Confidence Rating: Accident investigation report completed and information captured
Narrative:
According to the pilot, during his first attempt for landing, he approached the runway too fast and performed a go-around. On the second approach, the airplane entered 'ground effect [which] caused extended float.' The pilot reported that the airplane touched down approximately 1/3 of the way down the 2,000 foot long wet grass runway. The airplane began to 'slide,' and it overran the end of the runway. The airplane then crossed a paved road and entered a ditch before coming to rest.

Probable Cause: the pilot's misjudgment of distance and speed, and his failure to attain a proper touchdown point, while landing. Related factors were: the short/wet runway, and uneven terrain and ditch beyond the end of the runway.
