Incident
A cargo aircraft was damaged beyond repair after it overran the runway following an unstabilized approach. The aircraft touched down too far along the runway and was unable to stop within the remaining distance, coming to rest 150 meters beyond the runway end. All five crew members on board escaped uninjured.
Approach and Landing
The crew completed the landing procedure with a tailwind component of nine knots. Prior to landing, the aircraft was too high on the glide path, a result of a wrong approach configuration. The aircraft continued its descent above the normal glide, leading to a touchdown point well down the runway. This reduced the available landing distance, and the aircraft could not stop before the runway ended.
Probable Cause
The official investigation determined the probable cause to be a wrong approach configuration on the part of the crew, who continued the descent above the glide, causing the aircraft to land too far down the runway and reducing the landing distance available. The crew failed to initiate a go-around procedure.
