Narrative:
The flight made a routine VFR approach to runway 9 at rota. Runway very wet. Aircraft weight 133000 pounds, approach speed 128 KTS. Upon landing, reverse was used and brakes applied. Hydroplaning was experienced and the antiskid apparently malfunctioned, although was operative. The aircraft used the entire length of the runway to stop. Subsequent investigation revealed that the nose gear tires did cross the threshold bar of runway 27. They stopped on the hard surface beyond the threshold bar less than 10 ft. This overrun area is part of the original airport runway surface and very hard. No tracks or damage were found. All 4 main tires were scrubbed through the tread and 2 cords. All 4 were replaced prior to the next flight. The runway was resurfaced less than 12 months ago and the material used seems to be unusually slick when wet. When dry, the runway is normal.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: AN LGT ACR CREW MADE A LNDG ON A WET RWY THAT HAD BEEN RECENTLY RESURFACED. THE ACFT HYDROPLANED, GND OFF 4 TIRES, AND PUT ITS NOSE GEAR OFF OF THE END OF THE RWY.
Narrative: THE FLT MADE A ROUTINE VFR APCH TO RWY 9 AT ROTA. RWY VERY WET. ACFT WT 133000 POUNDS, APCH SPD 128 KTS. UPON LNDG, REVERSE WAS USED AND BRAKES APPLIED. HYDROPLANING WAS EXPERIENCED AND THE ANTISKID APPARENTLY MALFUNCTIONED, ALTHOUGH WAS OPERATIVE. THE ACFT USED THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE RWY TO STOP. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE NOSE GEAR TIRES DID CROSS THE THRESHOLD BAR OF RWY 27. THEY STOPPED ON THE HARD SURFACE BEYOND THE THRESHOLD BAR LESS THAN 10 FT. THIS OVERRUN AREA IS PART OF THE ORIGINAL ARPT RWY SURFACE AND VERY HARD. NO TRACKS OR DAMAGE WERE FOUND. ALL 4 MAIN TIRES WERE SCRUBBED THROUGH THE TREAD AND 2 CORDS. ALL 4 WERE REPLACED PRIOR TO THE NEXT FLT. THE RWY WAS RESURFACED LESS THAN 12 MONTHS AGO AND THE MATERIAL USED SEEMS TO BE UNUSUALLY SLICK WHEN WET. WHEN DRY, THE RWY IS NORMAL.
