An aircraft experienced a runway excursion after failing to stop during its landing roll at Luremo, resulting in significant damage to the airframe.

What happened

During the landing phase at Luremo, the aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently within the available runway length. As the vessel continued past the end of the paved surface, it overran the runway and sustained structural damage, specifically involving the loss of the nose landing gear. The aircraft eventually came to a halt a short distance from the runway exit.

Findings

  • All five people on board were able to exit the aircraft without injury.
  • The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
  • The primary factor in the excursion was the inability to stop within the remaining runway distance.

Probable cause

The aircraft failed to decelerate within the remaining runway length during its landing roll.
