## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Overrun, landing - roll
  - weather condition - high density altitude (contributing factor)
  - airspeed - misjudged, pilot in command (cause)
  - distance - misjudged, pilot in command (cause)
  - go-around - not performed, pilot in command (cause)
  - airport facilities,runway/landing area condition - rough/uneven (contributing factor)
  - airport facilities,runway/landing area condition - wet (contributing factor)
  - aircraft performance,hydroplaning condition - water (contributing factor)
- On ground/water collision with object, landing - roll
  - object - fence (contributing factor)

## Analysis

THE PILOT LANDED ON RUNWAY 17 WHICH HAD A SLIGHT DOWNGRADE. THE 2800 FT, ASPHALT RUNWAY WAS WET FROM A SHOWER THAT HAD JUST PASSED OVER AND THERE WAS NO EFFECTIVE HEAD WIND. ALSO, THE DENSITY ALTITUDE WAS ABOUT 2800 FT. DURING THE LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT FLOATED ABOUT 1/4 OF THE WAY DOWN THE RUNWAY BEFORE TOUCHING DOWN. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO STOP ON THE REMAINING RUNWAY AND THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED INTO A FENCE AND WAS DAMAGED. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THERE WERE DIPS AND POT HOLES IN THE RUNWAY.

## FAA reports on this event (1)

The FAA's own accident and incident reports, matched to the aircraft by N-number and date (OpenAirDocs).

- [Accident 19820808035309A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19820808035309A), Aug 8, 1982: Mooney M20J, North Richland, TX, Substantial damage. Unable to cope with crosswind and wet runway. Slid off end into a fence.

From the NTSB's public API. 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. Compare the reported make and model.
