Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
During flight, the pilot encountered adverse weather conditions and elected to make a precautionary landing at a nearby airport. He reported that he landed about 700 ft from the approach end of the runway at 70 knots, hydroplaned, and continued off the departure end. A witness reported that the plane touched down beyond the midfield point. After departing the runway, the aircraft encountered a soft muddy area and nosed over.
