What happened
During an approach to Siddharthanagar-Gautam Buddha Airport, a twin-engine aircraft operated under favorable meteorological conditions, characterized by 8 km visibility and a southeast wind of 4 knots. Upon landing on runway 28, the aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently before the end of the paved surface. The aircraft continued past the runway threshold, traveling approximately 110 metres into adjacent vegetation. During the excursion, the aircraft's landing gear was detached from the airframe.
While the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss, there were no fatalities among the passengers or crew. All 32 occupants were able to evacuate the wreckage without injury.
Findings
- The aircraft was unable to come to a complete stop within the available runway length following touchdown.
