The pilot's failure to go around after overshooting his intended touchdown point, which resulted in impact with farm equipment and terrain during an aborted landing attempt.

Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that he landed on his 2,000-foot private grass airstrip with a slight tailwind shortly after it had rained. The airplane touched down at the mid-point of the airstrip, which was his normal go around point. The pilot further reported that he applied the brakes, but the airplane was not slowing due to the wet grass, so he added full power to abort the landing. The airplane became airborne, cleared some plastic barrels north of the airstrip, but the right wing collided with other farm equipment. The airplane impacted terrain and sustained substantial damage to both wings, the fuselage, and the empennage.   The pilot reported that there were no pre impact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.
