What happened
On the arrival of flight SG416 from Jakarta, the aircraft was performing its landing sequence at Yogyakarta Airport. The flight crew completed the approach using a 30° flaps configuration. Just prior to the arrival, a thunderstorm had moved across the airport area, leaving runway 09 in a wet condition.
Upon touchdown on the wet surface, the pilot was unable to decelerate the aircraft sufficiently before the end of the runway. This led to a runway excursion where the plane overran the paved surface. During the excursion, the nose landing gear was lost, and the aircraft eventually came to a halt approximately 100 metres beyond the runway threshold.
Despite the impact and the structural damage to the airframe, all 58 occupants successfully evacuated the scene. There were 0 fatalities and 0 injuries reported following the incident.
Findings
- The runway surface was wet due to a recent thunderstorm.
- Poor braking action prevented the aircraft from stopping within the available runway distance.
