Read the full NTSB narrative
THE PILOT STATED THAT HE LOWERED THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT DURING THE APPROACH TO EXPEDITE HIS TOUCHDOWN. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE DID NOT APPLY BRAKES IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOT FIRMLY ON THE GROUND. WHEN HE REALIZED HE WOULD BE UNABLE TO STOP ON THE RUNWAY IT WAS TOO LATE TO GO-AROUND. THE AIRCRAFT RAN OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND COLLIDED WITH A DITCH.
