Probable cause
Failure of the pilot to use all available runway and his misjudgement of the available distance (runway length) for landing. Contributing factors were: inadequate preflight planning/preparation, and the runway and terrain conditions.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
As the plt was landing at a private restricted landing area, the acft touched down long & continued off the departure end of the landing area. Subsequently, the acft hit a bump as it left the end of the rwy & the nose gear was folded back. The plt rprtd that he thought the avialable rwy was much longer. Also, he stated that the braking action was almost non-existent on the wet grass & downhill slope.
