Analysis

The pilot stated that a normal short field approach to runway 27, with the stall warning horn sounding occasionally and touchdown approximately 200 feet from the threshold was accomplished. He also stated that after passing the first half of the runway he realized he was fast and pumped and applied more brakes and raised the flaps. The aircraft continued off the end of the runway, down an enbankment into a marshy area. State police reported skid marks, which led to the aircraft, began about midway along the runway. The aircraft came to rest about 200 feet past the departure threshold.
