Read the full NTSB narrative

The student pilot said, "[I] started to flare at 60-65 [knots], but the flare lasted longer than normal. Once I landed, I pulled full or hard brakes, but [the airplane] continued to slide." The student pilot said he slid over a road at the end of the runway and became airborne. The student pilot said he applied full power, but decided he would not be able to climb over the trees ahead of him. The student pilot said he pulled the power off and landed just before a pond. The airplane slid into the pond and nosed over. An examination of the airplane revealed no anomalies.
