  - proper touchdown point - misjudged, pilot in command (cause)
  - go-around - not performed, pilot in command (cause)

## Analysis

THE PILOT STATED THAT TWO ATTEMPTS TO LAND AT TURKEY AIRSTRIP RESULTED IN DIFFICULTY IN ACHIEVING A PROPER FINAL APPROACH PATH. AFTER SOME MANEUVERING ON THE 2ND APPROACH THE ACFT LANDED. ONE WITNESS DESCRIBED THE LANDING AS HOT WITH SOME FLOATING AND A LATE TOUCHDOWN. IN SPITE OF THE PILOT'S BRAKING ATTEMPTS THE ACFT RAN OFF THE END OF THE RWY UP A BERM AND INTO A DITCH.
