## Narrative

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

(-23)  METRO AIRPORT RECEIVED A LOT OF RAIN FROM A THUNDERSTORM JUST PRIOR TO N549PA LANDING ON RUNWAY 29L.  AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO HYDROPLANE.  WITH NO BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS, THE CREW DEPLOYED THE AIRCRAFT'S PARACHUTE.  THE AIRPLANE CONTINUED TO HYDROPLANE, AND THE CROSSWIND PUSHED THE AIRCRAFT OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY INTO THE GRASS.  THE CREW EVENTUALLY REGAINED CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT, AND BROUGHT THE AIRCRAFT TO A STOP ON A TAXIWAY.  THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE TIRES AND LANDING GEAR.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
