Probable cause
The pilot executing a left turn at an altitude insufficient to clear a corn field located in close proximity to the departure runway.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
According to the pilot's written statement, the aircraft landed fast and could not stop prior to reaching the end of the 1,665 foot long runway. The aircraft ran off the departure end of the runway and collided with a small lake. The aircraft sank and the two occupants successfully extricated themselves and swam to shore.
