Unfortunately, a very avoidable accident: the numbers say it all ....

Length 480m
Elevation 4,500 ft
Land 13
T/O 31
Grass/Gravel sometime rough
SOFT SURFACE EITHER SIDE OF CENTRELINE
Soft surface both ends
Very soft off Centre

Even the extra power of the TPE-331 cannot help you upon landing, but quick spool up and powerful reverse.
