NTSB Reports is an independent research and search tool for public aviation accident and incident records. It brings NTSB aviation reports, structured fields, docket files, extracted figures, photos, videos, and update history into one searchable interface.
The goal is practical safety education: make it faster to find relevant investigations, compare similar events, review factual records, and understand the evidence behind probable-cause and preliminary reports.
The investigative work and source records belong to the National Transportation Safety Board and the published investigation record. This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NTSB.
Annapolis, MD
The pilot of the Beech BE-58 was attempting to land on runway 12, a 2,500-foot-long, 48-foot-wide, asphalt runway. The pilot reported that the airplane touched down with about 2,000 feet of runway remaining; however, he was not able to stop the airplane before it departed the end of the runway, and struck a pole. A witness reported that heavy rain was falling at the time of the accident, and he could see the airplane hydroplaning along the runway surface. Winds reported about 5 miles northeast of the accident site, about the time of the accident, were from 40 degrees at 11 knots, with 29 knot gusts. Review of an airport facility directory for the airport revealed that runway 12 was noted as "extremely slippery when wet."
The pilot's improper in-flight decision to attempt to land on the wet runway, which resulted in an overrun. Factors in the accident were rain, and the gusty wind conditions.
