Narrative:

First officer was flying the approach. At 1000 ft above the ground the aircraft was stabilized on GS and localizer. Briefed approach speed was 130 KTS. Normal flare and touchdown on centerline. At that point, normal reverse thrust and braking was initiated. The first officer continued to increase brake pressure and reverse thrust as the aircraft started to drift to the right with no apparent braking effectiveness. At this point the first officer requested assistance. I took control of the aircraft, applied full left braking and full nose gear steering -- both of us applied full forward yoke. The aircraft continued to skid to the right and departed the hard surface at about 80-100 KTS some 6000 ft down the runway, just as some steering authority was regained. The aircraft returned to the runway after less than 1000 ft and was brought to a controled stop. We taxied clear and requested inspection. As a precaution the gear was pinned prior to taxi in.

Title: ACR MLG RWY EXCURSION AFTER LNDG AT BGR IN THE RAIN.

Narrative: FO WAS FLYING THE APCH. AT 1000 FT ABOVE THE GND THE ACFT WAS STABILIZED ON GS AND LOC. BRIEFED APCH SPD WAS 130 KTS. NORMAL FLARE AND TOUCHDOWN ON CENTERLINE. AT THAT POINT, NORMAL REVERSE THRUST AND BRAKING WAS INITIATED. THE FO CONTINUED TO INCREASE BRAKE PRESSURE AND REVERSE THRUST AS THE ACFT STARTED TO DRIFT TO THE R WITH NO APPARENT BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. AT THIS POINT THE FO REQUESTED ASSISTANCE. I TOOK CTL OF THE ACFT, APPLIED FULL L BRAKING AND FULL NOSE GEAR STEERING -- BOTH OF US APPLIED FULL FORWARD YOKE. THE ACFT CONTINUED TO SKID TO THE R AND DEPARTED THE HARD SURFACE AT ABOUT 80-100 KTS SOME 6000 FT DOWN THE RWY, JUST AS SOME STEERING AUTHORITY WAS REGAINED. THE ACFT RETURNED TO THE RWY AFTER LESS THAN 1000 FT AND WAS BROUGHT TO A CTLED STOP. WE TAXIED CLR AND REQUESTED INSPECTION. AS A PRECAUTION THE GEAR WAS PINNED PRIOR TO TAXI IN.
