Probable cause

The pilot’s improper landing flare which resulted in a bounced landing and runway excursion.

NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that, he entered the traffic pattern to land on the private runway. The airplane touched down on the runway’s asphalt surface and bounced. The pilot decided a go-around would not be successful and continued with the landing. He applied maximum brake pressure, retracted the wing flaps, and deflected the elevator upward. Despite his attempts, the airplane continued off the end of the runway and descended into a ditch. The right wing was substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
