On December 7, 1987, an Avro 748 (registration HS-THH) operated by Thai Airways International was involved in an aviation accident near Udon Thani, Thailand during landing or approach. No fatalities were reported. Investigators recorded the probable cause as: The pilot was unable to decelerate the aircraft sufficiently before reaching the end of the runway. This summary draws on records from the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives (B3A); 8 related events involving the same aircraft type or operator are linked below.
An aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently after touchdown, resulting in a runway excursion and hull loss.
What happened
Following the completion of the landing phase, the aircraft was unable to come to a halt within the available runway length. The momentum of the vehicle caused it to overshoot the end of the paved surface, eventually coming to a stop after an overrun.
While the incident resulted in no fatalities or injuries, the impact and subsequent excursion caused significant structural damage. The aircraft was subsequently declared a total loss as it was damaged beyond repair.
Findings
The primary factor in the accident was the inability to stop within the remaining runway distance after touchdown.
Probable cause
The pilot was unable to decelerate the aircraft sufficiently before reaching the end of the runway.
