Factual narrative

THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THE RUNWAY HAD A 6 TO 7 FT SNOWBANK ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND A 2 TO 3 FT SNOWBANK ON THE RIGHT SIDE. ALSO, WATER WAS ON THE RUNWAY INTERMITTENTLY ALONG THE ENTIRE LENGTH. AFTER LANDING, THE PLANE STARTED HYDROPLANING. AS THE PILOT MOVED THE PLANE TO THE LEFT TO GET OUT OF THE WATER, THE LEFT WING STRUCK THE SNOWBANK. THIS PULLED THE FRONT OF THE AIRCRAFT TO THE LEFT, RESULTING IN FURTHER DAMAGE. A NOTAM HAD BEEN ISSUED TO WARN PILOTS OF THE WET RUNWAY CONDITIONS. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
