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
The pilot reported that he elected to fly his IFR approach to the runway with a 10 kt quartering tail wind. He reported encountering hydroplaning conditions after landing within the first quarter of the runway. By the time he considered a go-around, there was insufficient airspeed and runway remaining. Asymmetrical power was used to turn the aircraft and avoid entering water. Subsequently, the left main gear struck a light and collapsed.
