Incident Details
A commercial pilot with 3,000 hours of flight time reported a runway excursion during the landing roll. The pilot had requested an Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach due to heavy rain and instrument meteorological conditions.
Sequence of Events
According to the pilot, during the landing roll, the aircraft encountered a patch of water on the wet runway, causing it to veer to the left. The pilot applied right rudder to correct the situation, but the nose wheel did not become effective until the aircraft came into contact with the grass off the left side of the runway. At that point, the pilot attempted to steer the aircraft back onto the runway, but the tire of the left main landing gear struck a runway light, and the front of the aircraft hit a taxiway sign.
