THE PILOT REPORTED THAT WHILE PRACTICING TOUCH-AND-GO LANDINGS, DURING THE THIRD APPROACH AND LANDING, THE AIRSPEED WAS FASTER THAN NORMAL. AFTER TOUCH DOWN, THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE AIRPLANE BEFORE THE END OF THE RUNWAY, THEREFORE, IN ORDER TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH A DITCH AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY, THE PILOT INTENTIONALLY GROUND LOOPED THE AIRPLANE.
