What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The aircraft landed approximately 200 feet past the midpoint of runway 17 with 10 degrees of flaps according to the pilot. The aircraft then hydroplaned on the slick wet runway until it ran off the end of the runway, went through a barbed wire fence and impacted a tree. This resulted in substantial damage to the aircraft. The additional factors were that this occurred in near dark conditions with overcast skies with the recent thunderstorms and rain showers leaving the downhill runway soaked with water. A hill north of the airport requires a steep approach. This airport does not receive funding and therefore airport certification is not a factor. This report is closed.
