## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

PILOT SAID HE TURNED BASE A LITTLE TOO CLOSE TO THE FIELD DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE MOUNTAIN ON FINAL.  HE MISS-JUDGED THE BEGINNING OF RUNWAY 30 AS IT WAS LOWER IN ELEVATION THAN EXPECTED.  HE WAS AT 80 MPH WITH FULL FLAPS ON FINAL BUT TOO HIGH.  HE THOUGHT HE COULD MAKE IT.  BY THE TIME HE HAD REALIZED HIS ERROR, IT WAS TOO LATE AND HE KNEW HE COULDN'T GET OVER THE 30 FOOT TREES AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY TO GO AROUND.  HE LANDED AND APPLIED FULL BRAKES BUT JUST SLID ON THE GRASS.  HE GUIDED THE AIRPLANE TO THE LONGEST AREA OFF TO THE RIGHT WITH THE FEWEST OBSTACLES AND HIT THE LEFT WING ON A TREE AND CAME TO A STOP.
