    “The aircraft landed and hydroplaned off the end of runway 24 at KDYB striking a berm.

    The aircraft caught fire and was completely destroyed as a result. ”

    Hydroplaning sounds like a problem with tires and ADM, instead of the airframe. 5000’ runway. Maybe a go around would have helped?

    Huh. Before the above, I thought it was just one Hondajet story that was being told over and over and over again, like a German fairy tale.

    I have a cheap solution. For any airport where they typically fly, put up a bunch of old tires, like they used to use at racing tracks. Then that can be designated the "Hondarunway". Make sure to fill the lower portion with spray foam so that mosquitoes don't live in them.
