Probable cause
The pilot misjudged his distance, speed, and altitude on final approach and failed to attain the proper touchdown. Factors related to the accident were: uneven (rising) terrain near the runway threshold and the runway light.
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
The pilot stated that while making a normal approach to the runway, he allowed the aircraft to get 'low and slow.' The aircraft impacted the ground on a slight uphill slope, about 10 feet before the approach end of the runway, and damaged some runway lights as it continued up onto the runway. The pilot veered the aircraft off the right side of the runway deliberately in an attempt to 'reduce possibility of fire.' The aircraft came to rest with both main landing gear collapsed approximately 40 feet from the runway.
