Incident Summary
During the landing approach, the pilot extended full flaps and initiated a slip on final approach after recognizing that the airspeed was excessive. The airplane touched down on the last quarter of the 2,505-foot-long runway at an indicated airspeed of approximately 120 knots. The airplane subsequently traveled off the end of the runway and came to rest in an inverted position.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that he landed "long and fast" and acknowledged that he should have performed a go-around instead of attempting to land under those conditions.
Aircraft Performance Data
According to the Cessna 206 Pilot's Operating Handbook, the recommended airspeed for a normal landing with flaps down is 65–75 KIAS. Additionally, the handbook indicates that the airplane would have required approximately 1,429 feet of landing distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle at the approach end of the runway.
