Incident Details
During a landing attempt following a single go-around, an aircraft touched down beyond the halfway point of a 2300-foot sod runway. The pilot was unable to stop before the end of the runway, and the aircraft careened through a fence into an adjacent farm field. The landing gear collapsed during the event.
Witness Accounts
Witnesses reported that the aircraft appeared to be high and fast on approach. They observed the touchdown point was well past the runway's midpoint, indicating a long landing.
Pilot Statement
The pilot stated that he might have mistaken the runway threshold, resulting in landing long. He also noted that he was unable to stop the aircraft after touching down.
