A LANDING WAS MADE ON RUNWAY 27 JUST PRIOR TO SUNSET. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE REALIZED HE WAS NOT SLOWING FAST ENOUGH, BUT DUE TO THE LOW ALTITUDE OF THE SETTING SUN, HE MISJUDGED THE LENGTH OF THE RUNWAY. HE INITIATED A GO-AROUND, BUT DID NOT OBTAIN FLYING SPEED. THE AIRCRAFT RAN OFF THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY ONTO A SOFT, PLOWED FIELD AND OVERTURNED. PRIOR TO THIS ACCIDENT, THE PILOT HAD MADE ONE LANDING SINCE AUGUST 1981.
