THE PILOT MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO LAND. ON HER FIRST THREE ATTEMPTS, SHE WAS TOO HIGH AND TOO FAST. ON HER FOURTH ATTEMPT, SHE WAS ALSO HIGH AND FAST, BUT SHE APPLIED FULL FLAPS AND SLIPPED THE AIRCRAFT DURING THE APPROACH. AFTER LANDING, SHE ATTEMPTED TO STOP, BUT REALIZED SHE HAD INSUFFICIENT RUNWAY REMAINING. TO AVOID RUNNING OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY, SHE ATTEMPTED TO TURN RIGHT, AND THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A HANGAR LOCATED OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND A PARKED VEHICLE. SHE BELIEVED THE WIND DIRECTION SHIFTED DURING THE APPROACH, RESULTING IN A DOWNWIND LANDING.
Probable Cause: the failure of the pilot to initiate a go-around after failing to obtain the proper airspeed and rate of descent during the approach.
