On March 14, 1986, a Mcdonnell Douglas DC-9-31 (registration N8924E) was involved in an aviation accident near Charleston, SC. This summary draws on records from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) historical archive.
An aircraft landed on a wet runway during heavy rain and thunderstorms but failed to stop, veering into the mud on the right side of the overrun due to ineffective braking.
What happened
The aircraft touched down on runway 15 at 23:57 Eastern Standard Time. The runway surface was wet due to heavy rain and thunderstorms in the area. Braking effectiveness was insufficient, causing the aircraft to fail to stop within the available distance. The captain steered the aircraft to the right into the mud on the side of the overrun.
The investigation
A post-accident review of the flight data recorder indicated that the aircraft descended at a rate higher than normal during the approach. The landing speed was recorded at approximately 150 knots. Wind conditions were from 070 degrees at 10 knots.
