What happened
During a local training mission at RAF Middle Wallop, a twin-engine aircraft experienced a mechanical failure during its landing sequence. As the aircraft was decelerating on the runway, one of the engines failed to shut down properly. This malfunction prevented the aircraft from coming to a controlled stop within the runway boundaries, causing it to overrun the landing area.
Following the excursion, the aircraft came to a final position after traveling past the end of the runway. The impact and the nature of the overrun resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss, as the structural damage was deemed beyond repair.
Findings
- The primary factor in the overrun was the failure of an engine to stop following the landing.
- There were 0 fatalities and 0 injuries reported, as both members of the flight crew successfully evacuated the aircraft without harm.
