Off-Airport Landing Abort Leads to Collision with Dry Creek Bed (N3100Z)

Accident Details

The pilot was performing a landing to the west on an off-airport site. After touchdown, he determined that the airplane would not stop before reaching the end of the landing area. In response, he attempted to abort the landing by applying full takeoff power. The airplane became airborne but did not achieve sufficient altitude to clear rising terrain at the end of the site. Consequently, the airplane collided with a dry creek bed.

Damage Assessment

The collision resulted in substantial damage to the wings and fuselage of the airplane.

Pilot Report

The pilot reported that wind conditions at the time of the accident were estimated to be from the southeast at 5 knots, with peak gusts to 10 knots. He also noted that there were no preaccident mechanical anomalies with the airplane.
