What happened
The accident occurred at night when the aircraft made its initial landing attempt. The pilot elected to touch down approximately halfway down the runway. Following this first touchdown, the decision was made to execute a go-around procedure.
During the subsequent second approach and landing phase, the aircraft failed to stop on the paved surface. It departed the end of the runway and came to rest in the adjacent body of water.
The investigation
Post-accident statements from the pilot provided context regarding the environmental conditions at the time of the incident. The pilot noted that immediately after the accident, he observed the windsock indicated he had landed downwind. He further stated that the breeze was sufficient to hold the wind direction steady during the approach.
Findings
The sequence of events indicates a loss of directional control or insufficient stopping distance during the second landing attempt. The pilot's observation regarding the windsock suggests that wind conditions may have influenced the landing performance, specifically by causing a downwind landing which can increase ground speed and landing roll.
