## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) THIS WAS AN IFR FLIGHT FROM CLANTON, AL TO AUBURN, AL. THE PILOT FLEW THE LOC 36 APPROACH WITH A 7 KNOT TAIL WIND AND ABOUT 20 KNOTS INDICATED, FASTER THAN THE NORMAL APPROACH SPEED. THE FLIGHT BROKE OUT AT THE MISSED APPROACH POINT, WHICH IS OVER THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND AT 300 FEET ABOVE THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN ABOUT ONE THIRD TO HALF WAY DOWN THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT HYDROPLANED AFTER TOUCH DOWN AND WENT OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY, DOWN AN EMBANKMENT, THROUGH THE AIRPORT PERIMETER FENCE AND ACROSS A PUBLIC ROAD. AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP, AFTER COLLIDING WITH A BARB WIRE FENCE AND SURROUNDING BRUSH. THE AIRCRAFT TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 600 FEET PAST THE END OF THE RUNWAY. THERE WERE TWO PASSENGERS ON BOARD. THE PILOT AND ONE PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES AND THE OTHER PASSENGER HAD NO INJURIES.
