On August 14, 1987, a Beech A36TC (registration N1834M) was involved in an aviation accident near Cascade, ID. This summary draws on records from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) historical archive.
A pilot diverted to an alternate airport due to heavy rain at the destination. During a night landing, hydroplaning led to ineffective braking. During go-around, the aircraft struck a rock pile on the overrun and came to rest on construction dirt.
Incident Overview
A pilot elected to divert from the intended destination due to heavy rain at that location. While landing at an alternate airport at night, hydroplaning occurred, rendering braking ineffective. During a go-around, the aircraft rolled onto the overrun and lifted off, but the main landing gear struck a rock pile approximately 5 feet high that had been left on the overrun by construction personnel. The aircraft subsequently came to rest on construction dirt.
NOTAM and Markings
A NOTAM was in effect stating 'MEN AND EQUIPMENT PRESENT AT THE END OF RUNWAY 30.' However, the pilot reported that there were no barriers or blinking lights to mark the construction area, and he was unaware of the rock pile until it was too late.
