Sequence of Events
The pilot of the aircraft circled the airfield to check the wind before setting up a traffic pattern for runway 36. The first approach to the runway resulted in a go-around. On the second attempt, the pilot landed the aircraft. After touchdown, the airplane skidded off the end of the runway and into a ditch.
Pilot's Account
According to the pilot, heavy braking was applied during the landing roll. However, the pilot stated that the runway surface was wet and slushy, and as a result, '...the wheels could not get a hold on the ground.' The pilot also reported that the accident might have been prevented if a slower airspeed had been used during the approach to landing.
Conditions
The accident occurred on a runway with a wet and slushy surface. No other information about the aircraft, operator, or environmental conditions was provided.
