Incident Overview
On final approach to Beauvais-Tillé Airport, the aircraft broke out from clouds and was too high on the glide path. Instead of executing a go-around, the crew continued the approach and landed too far down Runway 13. Unable to stop within the remaining 3,500 feet of runway, the airplane overran the end.
Damage and Final Position
The overrun resulted in the loss of the left main landing gear and the nose gear. The aircraft came to rest against a mound of earth.
Contributing Factors
At the time of the accident, the runway surface was wet, which was considered a contributing factor.
Probable Cause
The official probable cause was a wrong approach configuration on the part of the flying crew.
