Narrative:
An ILS approach was flown to runway 9L at fll. Reported visibility was 1 mi with rain. We acquired a visual on the runway at about 400 ft AGL and accomplished the landing with windshield wipers on and autobrakes selected. At touchdown, heavy rain began and lasted for several seconds. Forward vision was distorted, causing the captain to drift right of runway centerline. I took control of ailerons to maintain crosswind control against a crosswind from the right. The captain corrected back to centerline, but not before right side runway lights were clipped. Henceforth, normal operations. Next time I will insure that I get PIREP type feedback from previous aircraft that go around and one did in this situation. Heavy rain was depicted on radar, but off to the east end of runway 9L moving northeast. My parameters for landing near heavy rain have now been moved toward a more cautious/conservative plan.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: MLG ENCOUNTERS HVY RAIN ON LNDG ROLL DRIFTS FROM CTRLINE AND CONTACTS RWY LIGHTS.
Narrative: AN ILS APCH WAS FLOWN TO RWY 9L AT FLL. RPTED VISIBILITY WAS 1 MI WITH RAIN. WE ACQUIRED A VISUAL ON THE RWY AT ABOUT 400 FT AGL AND ACCOMPLISHED THE LNDG WITH WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON AND AUTOBRAKES SELECTED. AT TOUCHDOWN, HVY RAIN BEGAN AND LASTED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. FORWARD VISION WAS DISTORTED, CAUSING THE CAPT TO DRIFT RIGHT OF RWY CTRLINE. I TOOK CTL OF AILERONS TO MAINTAIN XWIND CTL AGAINST A XWIND FROM THE R. THE CAPT CORRECTED BACK TO CTRLINE, BUT NOT BEFORE R SIDE RWY LIGHTS WERE CLIPPED. HENCEFORTH, NORMAL OPS. NEXT TIME I WILL INSURE THAT I GET PIREP TYPE FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS ACFT THAT GAR AND ONE DID IN THIS SIT. HVY RAIN WAS DEPICTED ON RADAR, BUT OFF TO THE E END OF RWY 9L MOVING NE. MY PARAMETERS FOR LNDG NEAR HVY RAIN HAVE NOW BEEN MOVED TOWARD A MORE CAUTIOUS/CONSERVATIVE PLAN.
