What happened
During an approach to Verkhnevilyuisk, the aircraft experienced a difficult touchdown on an unpaved runway. The landing sequence involved two bounces before the aircraft made firm contact with the ground approximately 777 metres beyond the runway threshold. Due to the late touchdown and the limited remaining distance on the 1,800-metre runway, the aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently. This led to a runway overrun, during which the aircraft struck various obstacles.
Findings
- The aircraft touched down significantly late on the unpaved surface.
- The late touchdown prevented the aircraft from stopping within the available runway length.
- There were zero fatalities reported during the incident.
- The crew members escaped without injury, though one passenger sustained an injury during the collision.
