The 32-page final report issued Wednesday also indicates that the flight crew did not follow procedures when Miami Air International s Boeing 737 charter landed in a heavy rainstorm and slid into shallow water of the runway s end.

Investigators said that even without those mistakes, the plane would not have been able to stop on the ungrooved runway because of the amount of standing water. They said in a report released Wednesday that Miami Air failed to give pilots adequate guidance to evaluate braking conditions on wet runways.
