Probable cause
The failure of the pilot to execute a go-around after landing long.
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
The plt stated that he flew over the airport at 1,500 ft to observe the windsock & entered lt downwind for rwy 5. On final apch he executed a go-around because the acft was high. The flt reentered the pattern for landing & was again high on final, but he elected to continue the apch. The acft landed long and he attempted to stop the acft but it travelled off the rwy & came to rest in about 3 ft of water.
