As far as the weather goes? Look it up. It is fairly easy to find. If the airport wants you to land on a wet, non-grooved, displaced threshold with a tailwind then you better make sure you will be able to stop. It doesn't matter what your landing assessment said you were legal to do it. Is it a good idea? In this case it wasn't. Thankfully no one was hurt and maybe just some minor engine trouble.

Go ahead and investigate and hope the brakes were not working but guess what, this will be pilot error as one of the contributing factors. Hopefully we all learn from it, including myself.

Thank you, wise one. How about we maybe wait until some facts come out before we assign blame?

There was no damage to the airplane. Not a huge deal.
