DUE TO DETERIORATING WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE PILOT ELECTED TO MAKE A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING ON A 2520 FOOT LONG RUNWAY WITH A 625 FOOT DISPLACED THRESHOLD DUE TO TREES. THE PILOT SAID HE TOUCHED DOWN 500 FEET DOWN THE RUNWAY AND BOUNCED 5 TO 6 TIMES, PULLED THE FLAPS UP, AND SKIDDED OFF THE RUNWAY. THE FAA SAID THE PILOT LANDED LONG, WITH A TAILWIND, AND RAN OFF THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to achieve the proper touchdown point which resulted in an overrun of the runway and collision with trees. A factor is the pilot's improper compensation for the wind condition.
