He diverted to a nearby airport. The first approach to the runway terminated with a go-around due to high airspeed. The pilot reported that the airspeed for the second approach to the runway was “correct,” however the plane touched down near the midpoint of the 3,000-foot runway. He was unable to stop the airplane in the remaining distance and it went off the runway and into trees.
The pilot reported no engine power anomalies during the go-around and ensuing approach. An operational test run of the engine and post-accident examination of the airplane, including data recovered from the multi-function display, did not show any mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation and the engine performed to production test standards.
Probable cause: The pilot’s inadequate approach planning and failure to achieve the proper touchdown point, which resulted in a runway overrun.
