What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The pilot privacy data omitted flew the ILS approach into klvn under IFR conditions on the evening of November 19, 2004. He was flying N737CR a Cessna 172 at 120 knots on the approach. The pilot privacy data omitted had trouble seeing the runway on the approach due to the lights on low intensity. The lights at lvn are pilot controlled on the common traffic advisory frequency. When the pilot privacy data omitted broke out on the approach approximately 500 feet AGL he was high on the approach and fast and had to maneuver to center with the runway. The pilot privacy data omitted landed about halfway down the runway and got on the brakes after landing. The pilot privacy data omitted was unable to keep the airplane from hydroplaning down the runway and off the end. The airplane ended up about 600 feet from the end of the runway on the embankment of a crossing road. The nose wheel was bent back a little and minor prop damage. It caved in part of the firewall of the airplane and constitutes an accident.
