An airplane overran the runway after touching down fast on a wet runway, striking objects and sustaining substantial damage. Performance data indicated insufficient runway length.

Overview

An airplane departed with a full fuel load and flew for approximately 35 minutes before landing. At touchdown, the aircraft weighed about 9,500 pounds. The approach became unstabilized 0.1 miles from the runway threshold, triggering an aural sink rate warning from the Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS).

Sequence of Events

The airplane touched down fast on the first third of the runway. The pilot recognized that the airplane would not stop within the remaining runway distance and aborted the landing. However, before becoming airborne, the airplane overran the runway, struck multiple objects, and sustained substantial damage.

Performance Considerations

Based on performance information, at a weight of 9,500 pounds on a wet runway, the airplane required 3,550 feet to stop. This distance was 306 feet greater than the available runway length, indicating that the remaining runway was insufficient for the conditions.
