What happened
While performing a takeoff roll at Balikpapan Airport, the captain of a three-engine airplane determined that the takeoff procedure needed to be aborted. In response, the flight crew executed an emergency braking maneuver to halt the aircraft's progress.
Despite these efforts, the aircraft failed to come to a complete stop before reaching the end of the available runway surface. The plane subsequently overran the pavement and collided with various obstacles located beyond the runway threshold. The incident resulted in two fatalities among the passengers, while seven other occupants sustained injuries during the collision.
Findings
- The aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently within the remaining runway distance following the decision to abort the takeoff.
