What happened
During an arrival at Kadena Air Force Base, the flight crew encountered significant challenges attempting to decelerate the aircraft after making contact with the runway. Due to the inability to stop within the available runway length, the aircraft exited the paved surface and continued along the overrun area.
Following the excursion, the aircraft caught fire. Despite the intensity of the flames, all seven crew members successfully evacuated the wreckage without sustaining any injuries. The incident resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft.
Findings
- The primary factor in the accident was the inability to stop the aircraft within the remaining runway distance after touchdown.
