Narrative:

I was the so on flight on dec/wed/97, that ran off the runway. ATIS reported light rain, ceiling about 850 ft overcast, with 2-3 mi visibility. No mention of runway condition or braking action. We had normal approach and landing. The first officer was flying. He landed on centerline and slowed aircraft to 80 KTS and captain took controls. We were about halfway down the runway and on runway 36L, we taxi all the way to the end which is normal. We were going taxi speed, very slow for conditions, captain slowed to make microphone 7 turn off and DC10 started to hydroplane. At that same time tower reported runway slick at end. By that time it was too late. Also I heard later that the runway was not properly cleared or cleaned of excess rubber build-up which could have caused us to slide. I feel that not a thing could have been done by the flight crew to prevent this situation. I did not cause this runway run off. ATC should have informed us sooner. Supplemental information from acn 389273: normal approach and land runway 36L memphis. First officer leg. Captain took aircraft at +/-60 KTS and planned to exit at M6. At +/-40 KTS started to brake for exit. No braking available. Slid and slowly decelerated last +/-2000 ft. After the no braking situation tower advised the rollout end very slippery. Aircraft stopped about +/-50-100 ft past end of runway on overrun. Other pilots reported same conditions later. WX 500 ft overcast, rain wind 090 degrees 11 KTS. Supplemental information from acn 389275: normal landing on runway 36L, heavy rain. Touched down in the box on speed. Applied reverse thrust, at 100 KTS touched the brakes to confirm good brakes. At 80 KTS reduced reverse thrust to idle and captain said 'I have the aircraft.' rollout appeared normal until approximately 40 KTS when captain indicated that the aircraft was not stopping. While we were sliding tower came on and said last 2000 ft of runway 36L very slippery, about 5 seconds too late for us.

Title: A DC10 CARGO ACFT SLIDES OFF THE END OF RWY 36L AT MEM ONTO THE OVERRUN BEFORE IT IS STOPPED. THE FLC CITES RUBBER DEPOSITS, PAINTED SURFACES AND STANDING WATER ON THE RWY AS CAUSE OF EVENT. NO DAMAGE FOUND. NO TWR ADVISORIES UNTIL ACFT INTO A SLIDING CONDITION THE LAST 2000 FT. NIGHT OP.

Narrative: I WAS THE SO ON FLT ON DEC/WED/97, THAT RAN OFF THE RWY. ATIS RPTED LIGHT RAIN, CEILING ABOUT 850 FT OVCST, WITH 2-3 MI VISIBILITY. NO MENTION OF RWY CONDITION OR BRAKING ACTION. WE HAD NORMAL APCH AND LNDG. THE FO WAS FLYING. HE LANDED ON CTRLINE AND SLOWED ACFT TO 80 KTS AND CAPT TOOK CTLS. WE WERE ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN THE RWY AND ON RWY 36L, WE TAXI ALL THE WAY TO THE END WHICH IS NORMAL. WE WERE GOING TAXI SPD, VERY SLOW FOR CONDITIONS, CAPT SLOWED TO MAKE MIKE 7 TURN OFF AND DC10 STARTED TO HYDROPLANE. AT THAT SAME TIME TWR RPTED RWY SLICK AT END. BY THAT TIME IT WAS TOO LATE. ALSO I HEARD LATER THAT THE RWY WAS NOT PROPERLY CLRED OR CLEANED OF EXCESS RUBBER BUILD-UP WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED US TO SLIDE. I FEEL THAT NOT A THING COULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY THE FLC TO PREVENT THIS SIT. I DID NOT CAUSE THIS RWY RUN OFF. ATC SHOULD HAVE INFORMED US SOONER. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 389273: NORMAL APCH AND LAND RWY 36L MEMPHIS. FO LEG. CAPT TOOK ACFT AT +/-60 KTS AND PLANNED TO EXIT AT M6. AT +/-40 KTS STARTED TO BRAKE FOR EXIT. NO BRAKING AVAILABLE. SLID AND SLOWLY DECELERATED LAST +/-2000 FT. AFTER THE NO BRAKING SIT TWR ADVISED THE ROLLOUT END VERY SLIPPERY. ACFT STOPPED ABOUT +/-50-100 FT PAST END OF RWY ON OVERRUN. OTHER PLTS RPTED SAME CONDITIONS LATER. WX 500 FT OVCST, RAIN WIND 090 DEGS 11 KTS. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 389275: NORMAL LNDG ON RWY 36L, HVY RAIN. TOUCHED DOWN IN THE BOX ON SPD. APPLIED REVERSE THRUST, AT 100 KTS TOUCHED THE BRAKES TO CONFIRM GOOD BRAKES. AT 80 KTS REDUCED REVERSE THRUST TO IDLE AND CAPT SAID 'I HAVE THE ACFT.' ROLLOUT APPEARED NORMAL UNTIL APPROX 40 KTS WHEN CAPT INDICATED THAT THE ACFT WAS NOT STOPPING. WHILE WE WERE SLIDING TWR CAME ON AND SAID LAST 2000 FT OF RWY 36L VERY SLIPPERY, ABOUT 5 SECONDS TOO LATE FOR US.
