Read the full NTSB narrative
ACCORDING TO THE PILOT HE STARTED TO MAKE A GO AROUND AFTER HE REALIZED THAT HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT ON THE WET RUNWAY. HE FAILED TO GAIN SUFFICIENT ALTITUDE TO CLEAR THE TREES JUST BEYOND THE AIRPORT BOUNDARY. HE SAID HE LANDED AT THE NORMAL TOUCHDOWN POINT AND ATTRIBUTED HIS FAILURE TO STOP TO HYDROPLANING ON THE WET RUNWAY.
