Factual narrative

THE PLT STATED THAT HE WAS HIGH ON FINAL APPROACH SO HE LOWERED THE NOSE OF THE ACFT TO LOSE ALTITUDE AND IN RETURN GOT AN INCREASE IN AIRSPEED. HE TOUCHED DOWN 1/3 THE WAY DOWN THE RUNWAY AND THE ACFT BALLOONED. HE STATED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE ACFT BEFORE IT TRAVELED OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND INTO A DITCH.
