During a local orientation flight, the pilot turned to final approach with “a little too much altitude,” but the pilot did not perform a go-around. The airplane landed long down the runway, overran the end of the runway, and impacted a ditch, which damaged the forward fuselage. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper approach to landing and his failure to perform a go-around, which resulted in a runway overrun.
