Accident Sequence
The pilot entered the traffic pattern but did not see the wind sock. He entered the pattern to land on runway 27. During the final approach, the pilot observed that the airplane was high and fast. At the point he decided to go-around, he thought the airplane would be unable to clear trees ahead. He continued the approach instead of executing a go-around. The airplane touched down approximately two-thirds down the 3,401-foot-long runway.
Post-Landing Events
The pilot was unable to stop the airplane within the remaining runway. The airplane rolled off the end of the runway and collided with a ditch. During the collision, the left main landing gear collapsed.
Weather Conditions
A weather observation taken about 25 minutes after the accident from an airport located 25 nautical miles and 240 degrees from the accident airport revealed, in part, that the wind was from 150 degrees at 4 knots.
Pilot Observations
Post-accident, the pilot observed the wind sock and reported that it was operational.
