What happened
According to the pilot's statement, the aircraft touched down significantly beyond the intended touchdown zone on the runway. Upon realizing the landing distance was insufficient to stop safely before the runway end, the pilot evaluated his options for avoiding the dense line of trees located approximately 50 feet beyond the threshold.
Citing safety concerns regarding the potential impact with these obstacles, the pilot elected not to attempt a go-around. Instead, he deliberately maneuvered the aircraft to come to rest in the space between a tree and a house situated on his private property adjacent to the airfield.
Safety message
The pilot recommended landing shorter as a preventive measure for similar situations where runway length is marginal or obstacles are present at the departure end of the runway.
