Analysis
While on final apch, the plt realized his touchdown point was farther down the rwy than usual, but he believed there was sufficient rwy & elected to cont the lndg. After touchdown, he applied brakes, but was unable to stop on the remaining rwy. Subsequently, the acft contd off the dep end & went into a ditch. The plt stated that he failed to allow for a heavy layer of dew, which had reduced the braking action.
