Incident

The crew continued the approach with an excessive rate of descent and at too high speed. Upon touchdown, the aircraft bounced three times before landing on its nose gear, which collapsed. The aircraft then slid for several dozen meters and overran the runway, coming to rest 83 meters beyond the runway end. The aircraft burst into flames.

Occupant Evacuation

All 33 occupants were evacuated safely.

Aircraft Damage

The aircraft was destroyed.

Probable Cause

The official investigation determined the probable cause to be wrong approach configuration on the part of the crew, who completed an approach and landing in a nose-down attitude with excessive speed and rate of descent. It was also determined that the braking systems were partially inoperative due to hydraulic failure, which was considered as a contributing factor.
