What happened
Upon arrival at Quito-Mariscal Sucre Airport, the aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently before reaching the end of the runway. During the landing roll, the plane exceeded the paved surface and traveled approximately 70 meters beyond the runway threshold. The impact of the overrun caused the nose gear to separate from the airframe. While there were no fatalities or injuries reported among those on board, the aircraft sustained damage so severe that it was declared a total loss.
Findings
Investigations into the incident revealed that the crew utilized an incorrect approach configuration for the prevailing flight conditions. The aircraft touched down 300 meters past the runway threshold and maintained a speed of 143 knots, which significantly exceeded the recommended landing speed of 123 knots. Additionally, it was determined that the crew failed to engage the emergency braking system during the critical deceleration phase.
