Contributing factors were the prevailing rain and the encounter with hydroplaning conditions. ## Sequence of events In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf). - Overrun, landing - roll - aircraft performance,hydroplaning condition - entered (contributing factor) - distance - misjudged, pilot in command (cause) - On ground/water collision with object, landing - roll - object - fence - object - tree(s) ## Analysis While landing on a 3,500-foot long wet runway with about 1,800 feet remaining, the 442-hour pilot stated that the airplane "hydroplaned on [a] slick painted surface" and he was able to maintain directional control until the airplane rolled off the end of the runway. Subsequently, the airplane struck a barbwire fence and impacted a tree. A weather observation station located six miles southwest of the accident site reported 6 minutes before the accident wind from 080 degrees at 6 knots, light rain and mist, few clouds at 800 feet, broken clouds at 2,600 feet, overcast cloud layer at 3,100 feet. ## Factual narrative On May 28, 2005, approximately 1930 central daylight time, a single-engine Cessna R182 airplane, N757ME, registered to and operated by Henley's Training Academy, Inc., of Addison, Texas, was substantially damaged when it overran the departure end of Runway 17 while landing at the Northwest Regional Airport (52F), near Roanoke, Texas. The commercial pilot, sole occupant of the airplane, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and flight plan was not filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The local flight originated from the Denton Municipal Airport (DTO), near Denton, Texas, at 1905. The 442-hour pilot reported in the Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1/2) that while landing on Runway 17 (a 3,500-foot long and 40-foot wide asphalt runway), the airplane touched down long with about 1,800 feet of runway remaining. The pilot stated that the airplane "hydroplaned on [a] slick painted surface" and he was able to maintain directional control until the airplane rolled off the departure end of the runway. The airplane struck a barbwire fence and impacted a tree with the left wing approximately 50 feet beyond the departure end of the runway. The pilot added that the runway was wet at the time of the accident. Examination of the airplane by an Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector, who responded to the accident site, revealed that the left wing sustained structural damage. At 1924 the automated weather observation system located at the Fort Worth Alliance Airport (located six miles southwest of 52F) reported wind from 080 degrees at 6 knots, light rain and mist, few clouds at 800 feet, broken clouds at 2,600 feet, an overcast cloud layer at 3,100 feet, temperature 21 degrees Celsius, dew point, 19 degrees Celsius, barometric altimeter 29.86 inches of Mercury. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N757ME](https://openairdocs.org/deregistered/N757ME-2013-05-08), registration cancelled 2013-05-08, S/N R18201247, built 1979 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: Cessna R182 - Registry model: [Cessna R182](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-r182) (registry code 2072734) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Lycoming 0-540 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/lycoming-0-540-series) (registry code 41532, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: R18201247 - Airframe hours: 5117.61 - Engines: Lycoming O-540 235 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Registered owner: Henley's Training Academy Inc. - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, March 1, 2005, 77.7 hours before - Departed: DTO, Denton, TX - Destination: 52F, Roanoke, TX - Airport: 52F, Northwest Regional Airport, runway 17, 3,500 × 40 ft, asphalt ## 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.
