The defining event best describes what happened. - [Landing-landing roll: Runway excursion](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-events/300) (defining event); cases with it: [Cirrus Design SR22, 40 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-events/300/sequence.md?model=2130001), [All aircraft, 3,643 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-events/300/sequence.md) ## Analysis The pilot reported that he landed on a runway that was wet due to recent rain showers. As he applied the brakes, the airplane began to hydroplane, so he released braking pressure to regain directional control. The pilot then reapplied the brakes but was unable to stop the airplane on the remaining runway. The airplane subsequently impacted a fence off the end of the runway, which resulted in substantial damage to both wings. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operations. Following the accident, the pilot recognized he should have diverted to another airport. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N787CD](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N787CD), registered now, S/N 0918, built 2004 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: CIRRUS DESIGN CORP SR22 - Registry model: [Cirrus Design SR22](https://openairdocs.org/model/cirrus-design-sr22) (registry code 2130001) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Continental IO-550 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-io-550-series) (registry code 17042, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 0918 - Year built: 2004 - Airframe hours: 2274 - Engines: CONT MOTOR IO-550 SERIES 310 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, October 15, 2021, 125 hours before - Departed: LIT, Little Rock, AR - Destination: M77, Nashville, AR - Airport: M77, Howard County Airport, runway 19, 3,994 × 75 ft, asphalt - Equipment: Electronic primary flight display, Auto-pilot, Airframe parachute, ADS-B, Stall warning system, Satellite tracking device, Onboard weather ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.

Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong.
