Event Location
Probable Cause
The pilot's delay in executing the aborted landing, which resulted in a runway excursion.
Full Narrative
The pilot reported that the flight was an Angel Flight and the airplane bounced twice during landing. After the second bounce the pilot executed an aborted landing. He stated that during the aborted landing he was concerned that the airplane would not clear obstacles at the end of the runway and elected to land the airplane on the remaining runway. The airplane went off the end of the runway, through a fence and onto a road. The airplane's right main landing gear was separated and the right wing sustained substantial damage. The pilot listed no mechanical failures or malfunctions of the airplane. The pilot commented in his report that an earlier decision to execute the aborted landing may have prevented the accident.
