What happened
The incident occurred while the crew was conducting a local training flight at Aberdeen-Dyce Airport. Following touchdown, the aircraft encountered difficulties in decelerating and was unable to stop within the available runway distance. Consequently, the plane overran the end of the runway. During this overrun sequence, the aircraft lost its undercarriage before finally coming to rest. Both pilots managed to escape the wreckage uninjured, but the airframe sustained damage that rendered it beyond repair.
Findings
The official investigation identified the primary factor behind the accident as a failure of the braking systems upon landing. This mechanical issue prevented the aircraft from slowing down effectively after touchdown, leading directly to the overrun and subsequent structural damage.
