## Narrative

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

THE PILOT STATED THAT UPON LANDING ON HIS PRIVATE GRASS STRIP HE HAD TOUCHED DOWN TOO FAST.  HE APPLIED THE BRAKES HARD BUT CONTINUED TO SLIDE TO THE END OF THE STRIP.  AT THAT POINT THE PILOT DECIDED TO AIM FOR A DITCH TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY INSTEAD OF SLIDING OFF THE END INTO A MARSH AREA.  THE PLANE STRUCK MULTIPLE SMALL TREES CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING CREATING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE.  THE RIGHT WING, MAIN LANDING GEAR, NOSE GEAR, AND PROP WERE ALSO DAMAGED.
