What happened
During the landing phase of the flight, the aircraft made contact with a runway that was covered in moisture. Following touchdown, the crew attempted to decelerate, but the vessel could not be brought to a halt within the available runway length. The aircraft continued down the strip at approximately 80 knots before exiting the paved surface.
As the excursion progressed, the aircraft sustained heavy damage, specifically losing its right engine and the right main landing gear. The movement ceased several dozen meters beyond the initial point of departure from the runway. Despite the severity of the impact, all 88 occupants managed to evacuate the aircraft without injury.
Findings
- The primary factor in the accident was the wet runway surface, which contributed to the inability to stop the aircraft.
- The aircraft sustained damage beyond repair due to the loss of critical components and structural integrity during the overrun.
