Analysis
During a landing, the acft floated about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way down the rwy before touching down. The plt was unable to stop on the remaining rwy & the acft continued off the end & hit a ditch. An exam of the brakes revealed two discrepancies. The temp was estimated to be 108 deg & the density alt was about 4500 ft. also, the rwy sloped slightly downhill.
