Flight Details
According to the pilot's report, traffic on the runway prompted him to circle until the runway was clear. He then set up for landing on runway 01.
Landing Attempts
During the first landing attempt, the pilot initiated a go-around because "the runway was disappearing too fast." On the second attempt, he set up for a short field landing. The aircraft touched down at the beginning of the 3,500-foot long downsloping runway.
Accident Sequence
During the landing roll, the pilot realized the ground speed was too fast and the aircraft would not stop in time. He stated there was insufficient runway remaining for another go-around. The aircraft ran off the end of the runway.
Post-Accident Observations
After the accident, the pilot noted that the wind had shifted, resulting in a tailwind landing. An FAA Inspector reported that the aircraft traveled over rough terrain directly off the end of the runway for about 200 feet before coming to rest. Damage included blown main landing gear tires, a collapsed right main landing gear, and buckled upper wing surfaces.
