Narrative:

First officer (copilot) completed a successful ILS approach to runway 23 at saranac lake ny. We had visual contact with runway at 400 ft AGL. Although not raining at airport, it had, and runway was wet. This was not announced by the airport personnel at slk. They gave us the wind only. Touchdown was at 2000 ft from threshold, and on speed. #2 main flat spotted and deflated between 2000 ft and 2500 ft from threshold. I have reason to believe anti-skid control/metering valve did not release tire. Aircraft hydroplaned down runway. When we crossed the paint lines at opposite end it was like being on ice. I took control of aircraft 1/2 way down runway. We left end of runway by approximately 30 ft. Other than the #2 tire, there was no damage to the aircraft. There was no injuries. There was no damage to airport lndgs, equipment, etc. Upon regaining runway, I taxied aircraft to ramp. Possible contributing factor. First officer made soft touchdown instead of firm landing to break surface resistance. Hydroplaning was immediate. Maintenance changed #1 and #2 main tires, and all brakes, installed new anti-skid control valve, changed nose tires along with gear swing and released aircraft to service in agreement with our FAA approved maintenance program task cards.

Title: B727 CREW WENT OFF THE END OF THE RWY 23 AT SLK.

Narrative: FO (COPLT) COMPLETED A SUCCESSFUL ILS APCH TO RWY 23 AT SARANAC LAKE NY. WE HAD VISUAL CONTACT WITH RWY AT 400 FT AGL. ALTHOUGH NOT RAINING AT ARPT, IT HAD, AND RWY WAS WET. THIS WAS NOT ANNOUNCED BY THE ARPT PERSONNEL AT SLK. THEY GAVE US THE WIND ONLY. TOUCHDOWN WAS AT 2000 FT FROM THRESHOLD, AND ON SPD. #2 MAIN FLAT SPOTTED AND DEFLATED BTWN 2000 FT AND 2500 FT FROM THRESHOLD. I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE ANTI-SKID CTL/METERING VALVE DID NOT RELEASE TIRE. ACFT HYDROPLANED DOWN RWY. WHEN WE CROSSED THE PAINT LINES AT OPPOSITE END IT WAS LIKE BEING ON ICE. I TOOK CTL OF ACFT 1/2 WAY DOWN RWY. WE LEFT END OF RWY BY APPROX 30 FT. OTHER THAN THE #2 TIRE, THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE ACFT. THERE WAS NO INJURIES. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO ARPT LNDGS, EQUIP, ETC. UPON REGAINING RWY, I TAXIED ACFT TO RAMP. POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. FO MADE SOFT TOUCHDOWN INSTEAD OF FIRM LNDG TO BREAK SURFACE RESISTANCE. HYDROPLANING WAS IMMEDIATE. MAINT CHANGED #1 AND #2 MAIN TIRES, AND ALL BRAKES, INSTALLED NEW ANTI-SKID CTL VALVE, CHANGED NOSE TIRES ALONG WITH GEAR SWING AND RELEASED ACFT TO SVC IN AGREEMENT WITH OUR FAA APPROVED MAINT PROGRAM TASK CARDS.
