Accident Sequence
The aircraft completed an uneventful flight from Heho before commencing landing on runway 20. During touchdown, the aircraft bounced six times. The final touchdown occurred approximately 1,500 feet past the runway threshold. The last bounce was notably rough, causing the nose gear to collapse. The aircraft then skidded along the runway and overran the end.
Upon leaving the paved surface, the aircraft entered soft ground, which led to the collapse of both main landing gears. Continuing forward, the aircraft struck a sand pile before coming to rest. During the impact with the sand pile, some blades of the right engine penetrated the fuselage.
Post-Accident Findings
All 54 occupants evacuated without injury. The aircraft sustained damage beyond repair. Investigation revealed that the copilot was serving as the pilot in command at the time of the accident.
