Accident Details
The airplane was substantially damaged when the pilot landed long and the airplane overran the end of the runway, striking some trees. According to the pilot, he initially mistook the taxiway, located to the left side of the runway, for runway 01. He identified the correct runway while on final approach.
Pilot Report
The pilot stated that once he had identified runway 01, he executed a steep approach to the runway, touching down with approximately one half of the useable runway remaining. He reported, "Approached too high[,] I believe this was where I screwed up big time!" The pilot was unable to stop the airplane prior to the end of the runway, and the airplane impacted a ditch off to the right side of the end of the runway.
Pilot's Recommendations
The pilot noted that the accident could have been prevented by a stabilized approach, low speed to soft field at the threshold rather than further infield, vigilance for threshold confusion in turf fields, and preferring paved fields if never landed on grass before.
