RWY EXCURSION BY A BE1900 FLT AFTER AN ILS APCH IN AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT ENVIRONMENT AT ZZZ; US.

Narrative

FACTORS AFFECTING THE QUALITY OF HUMAN PERFORMANCE: VISUAL ILLUSIONS ASSOCIATED WITH EXTREMELY DARK NIGHT AND HVY RAINFALL. THE EFFECT IS ACTUAL ALT OVER RWY IS DIFFERENT FROM PERCEIVED ALT OVER THE RWY. ALSO AN IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTING FACTOR: WORKLOAD FROM WX; WINDSHEAR; 12 HR DUTY DAY; 9 PRIOR FLTS THAT DAY. LEFT CTLED SURFACE DURING LNDG ROLLOUT; POSSIBLY DUE TO REDUCED BRAKING IN HVY WIND AND HVY RAIN. EXCEEDED LNDG SURFACE BY APPROX 5 FT ON RWY 7 AT ZZZ. CEILINGS; WIND SPD/WIND DIRECTION WERE IN LIMITS; BUT CHANGING; WERE CHANGING BACK AND FORTH: QUARTERING WIND; TAILWIND; XWIND; 200 DEGS AT 7 KTS; GUSTING 11 KTS TO 19 KTS; BUT GENERALLY LESS AND WITHIN LIMITS. THIS WAS MY SECOND ILS RWY 7 TO ZZZ. THE FIRST APCH A FEW MOMENTS EARLIER WAS AN ILS RWY 7 CIRCLE TO RWY 25; FOLLOWED BY A MISSED APCH DUE TO CEILINGS DROPPING. ILS RWY 7 WAS NORMAL APCH AND TOUCHDOWN; EXCEPT WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED DIRECTLY IN MY LINE OF SIGHT; BUT I FELT SAFE. I STILL HAD 2500 FT APPROX; TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. UPON TOUCHDOWN; I FELT LIKE I GOT A HUGE GUST OF WIND. BUT I FELT I COULD SLOW DOWN SAFELY -- L THEN R QUARTERING TAILWIND UNKNOWN SPD. OVER THE FIELD; THE WIND AND RAIN BECAME WORSE ON OR NEAR TOUCHDOWN -- BEYOND A POINT WHEN A GAR WOULD BE SAFE. I GRADUALLY INCREASED BRAKING TO MAX USING GND FIVE AS PER REG; BUT DID NOT SLOW EFFICIENTLY. PROPER RUDDER AND AILERON CTLS WERE USED INTO THE WIND. MAX BRAKING WAS USED WITH NO HYDROPLANING; AND CTRLINE WAS MAINTAINED. ALTHOUGH ASOS CALLED 10 MI VISIBILITY; WE TEMPORARILY HAD VISIBILITY REDUCED TO NIL IN HVY RAIN. IN THE LAST 50 FT; I USED MAX REVERSE; BUT IT WAS NOT EFFICIENT DUE TO SLOWER SPD. ACFT CAME TO REST 5 FT FROM RWY 25 THRESHOLD. ACFT WAS NOT MOVED. PAX WERE AWARE OF WHY I DID NOT MOVE AND WERE VERY CALM. NORMAL SHUTDOWN AND NORMAL DEPLANING OF PAX; CARRY-ON'S AND CHKED BAGS. NO EMER DECLARED. NO DAMAGE TO ACFT OR RWY. NO INJURIES. ACFT TIRES CAME TO REST OFF RWY WITH TAIL OVER RWY 25 THRESHOLD MARKINGS. WX GRADUALLY BECAME AN IMPORTANT FACTOR; AND IT DETERIORATED RAPIDLY ON SHORT FINAL. THE BURST OF HVY RAIN OCCURRED ON THE FIELD. THE VISIBILITY GRADUALLY BECAME WORSE AS I COVERED MORE AND MORE DISTANCE. TOWARD THE END; I FOCUSED STRICTLY ON MAINTAINING RWY CTRLINE; ONE STRIPE AT A TIME; WHILE USING MAX RUDDER; AILERON AND BRAKING. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 612456: THE WINDS HAD SHIFTED TO A XWIND SO THE CAPT DECIDED TO GO STRAIGHT IN. THE APCH WAS GOOD AGAIN AND WE BROKE OUT AT DECISION ALT. THE FIRST THING I SAW WAS THE PAPI'S ALL WHITE SO I KNEW WE WERE HIGH. IT WAS RAINING VERY HARD SO I HIT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. I NOTICED WE WERE RUNNING OUT OF RWY VERY FAST SO I SAID; 'YOU'RE OUT OF RWY; GO MISSED.' THE CAPT CONTINUED AND PLANTED THE PLANE FAIRLY HARD. BY THE TIME I LOOKED UP WE ONLY HAD A FEW HUNDRED FEET OF RWY LEFT AND I JUST SAID 'REVERSE; REVERSE.' BY THAT TIME; IT WAS TOO LATE AND WE WERE OFF THE RWY ABOUT 25 FT. LOOKING BACK ON IT; WE MUST HAVE HAD A TAILWIND AND WE WERE HIGH AND FAST AND THAT'S WHY IT HAPPENED.
