Analysis

The plt stated that his anxiety during the approach delayed his decision to abort a long landing. After touchdown he attempted to turn at the end of the rwy but, the acft collided wth a stump and damaged the rt wing. The plts anxiety was based on another accident that he had in February at this airstrip. That accident occurred during takeoff.
