Analysis
While attempting to land after one go-around. Witnesses said the acft touched down beyond the half way point on the 2300 foot sod runway. He appeared to be high and fast according to witnesses. The pilot said he might have mistaken the threshold and landed long. A direct cross wind of about 15 knots prevailed. The plt said he was unable to stop, and careened through a fence into a farm field collapsing the landing gear.
