What happened
On 31 May 2017, a Boeing 737-300, registration PK-CJC, was operating a scheduled passenger service from Makassar to Manokwari via Sorong. The flight, operated by PT. Sriwijaya Air, carried 146 passengers and 6 crew members. After departing Sorong, the aircraft began its approach to Rendani Airport under visual meteorological conditions.
During the final stages of the approach, the Pilot in Command transitioned from monitoring duties to active control at approximately 600 feet. As the aircraft descended through 500 feet to 200 feet, the Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) issued "Sink Rate" and "Pull Up" alerts. The aircraft touched down on runway 35 at 2350 UTC. Although the crew deployed spoilers and activated thrust reversers, the aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently and overran the runway, coming to a stop roughly 20 meters past the pavement end.
There were 0 fatalities and 0 injuries as all occupants evacuated the aircraft safely following the commander's order.
Findings
Investigation into the incident revealed that the aircraft was airworthy and the crew held all necessary certifications. Weather conditions at the time of landing included light rain and a wet runway surface. CCTV footage captured water splashing during the landing roll, and investigators noted standing water present on parts of the runway due to warped pavement sections. Additionally, it was observed that some runway lighting was obscured by overgrown grass. The investigation also noted that the Rendani Aerodrome Manual had not been approved by the DGCA at the time of the event.
