What happened
During a night approach, the aircraft drifted from its intended path, touching down approximately 20 metres to the right of runway 06 while maintaining a slight right bank. Following the landing, the aircraft traveled several hundred metres along the ground before the path of travel returned to the paved surface. During this excursion, the nose gear of the aircraft collapsed, causing the vehicle to come to a complete stop.
At the time of the incident, visibility was recorded at 1,600 metres. Although the aircraft sustained damage that was determined to be beyond repair, there were no injuries reported among the 60 occupants on board.
Findings
- The aircraft landed off the centerline in a right bank.
- The nose gear collapse occurred as the aircraft transitioned back onto the paved surface after traveling several hundred metres off the runway.
