Approach and Landing
The pilot reported that on final approach to the 1,800-foot-long airstrip, the indicated airspeed was 75 knots and dropping. The aircraft information manual specifies a final approach speed of 60 KIAS until the flare for a short-field landing. Additionally, the wind shifted to a 5-knot tailwind on final.
Decision to Continue
The pilot stated that he landed long. Although he had little runway left during the landing flare, he decided not to attempt a go-around due to rising terrain and obstructions at the end of the runway.
Runway Excursion
During the landing roll, the pilot locked the brakes. The main landing gear tires blew. The pilot was unable to steer or stop the airplane before it veered to the right and ran off the end of the runway. The aircraft collided with a fence before coming to rest.
Mechanical Condition
The pilot reported that no mechanical malfunction or failure was involved.
