Rivera Airport Landing Incident: Aquaplaning Leads to Total Loss (T-522)

Incident Overview and Outcome An aircraft completed a landing on a wet runway at Rivera Airport. Following touchdown, the airplane experienced aquaplaning, which caused it to veer off the runway. During the excursion, the aircraft lost its undercarriage before coming to a complete stop. Both occupants on board were uninjured in the incident. However, the aircraft sustained damage that was assessed as beyond repair, resulting in a total loss. The event highlights the significant operational risks associated with landing on wet surfaces, where reduced tire friction can lead to a loss of directional control.
