What happened
The aircraft departed from its intended path at the end of runway 09, ultimately nosing over after leaving the paved surface. According to reports from the operator, environmental conditions were favorable for flight operations at the time of the event. The sky featured scattered cloud cover, visibility exceeded five miles, and winds were calm. Runway 09 had been actively utilized throughout the day prior to the incident.
The pilot provided an explanation for the mishap, attributing the outcome to a high approach profile. This resulted in the aircraft touching down significantly further down the runway than planned. The excessive distance covered on the ground prevented the aircraft from stopping before reaching the end of the available pavement, leading to the overrun and subsequent nose-over.
The investigation
Examination of the site and review of pilot statements confirmed that the primary factor was the landing location relative to the runway length. No mechanical failures or weather-related issues were cited as contributing factors to the loss of control or the structural damage sustained during the nose-over event.
