Incident Overview
A pilot conducting a night approach to a paved, lighted runway reported that the approach was normal and that there was no indication of any problem. The runway length was 2,550 feet.
Landing Sequence
During the landing flare, the airplane floated and touched down beyond the intended touchdown point, resulting in a long landing. The pilot stated that he did not have sufficient runway remaining to execute a go-around.
Departure from Runway
After touching down long, the airplane continued past the end of the runway. It then traveled down a 60-foot embankment and came to rest in a swamp adjacent to the airport.
Pilot Statement
The pilot indicated that the approach was normal and that he felt no reason to believe anything was wrong until the landing roll exceeded the available runway. The decision not to go around was based on the perceived lack of runway remaining.
