Bainville, MT, USA
N92824
Cessna 182N
The pilot was landing at a private grass field; he over-flew it twice to check its condition. On final, he was too high. He slipped the airplane to lose altitude, and put down 40 degrees of flaps. He said the airplane floated, and subsequently landed long. He "went off [the] end of the runway, bounced across uneven ground, and hit trees w/right wing." He said the right wing and fuselage were bent, and the engine's fire wall was wrinkled.
