Sequence of events

The events NTSB coded, in order, by phase of flight. The defining event is the one that best describes the accident. Under each, the cases with the same event anywhere in their sequence.

Analysis

The pilot reported that while on approach to land on a 3,000 ft runway, the airplane was too fast and floated beyond the intended landing spot. The pilot was unable to stop the airplane before it exited the departure end of the runway and impacted a drainage ditch, which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
