What happened
During a flight from Imperatriz to Fazenda Matary, the pilot in command intended to conduct training maneuvers upon arrival, noting the absence of passengers. While descending, the pilot notified air traffic control of the intention to execute a touch-and-go maneuver. The aircraft, configured with 15 degrees of flaps, touched down at a speed of 125 knots, which was approximately 10 knots higher than the intended reference speed of 116 knots.
Following the landing, the captain decided to transition from a touch-and-go to a full stop without communicating this change to the co-pilot. As the aircraft's speed decreased, the co-pilot applied increased engine power to prepare for a takeoff attempt. However, the captain subsequently reduced power and applied the brakes. The aircraft was unable to halt within the available runway length, resulting in an overrun. The aircraft came to a stop several dozen meters beyond the runway surface and subsequently caught fire.
Findings
- The aircraft was traveling at a speed 10 knots above the recommended reference speed during touchdown.
- A lack of communication between the pilot and co-pilot regarding the decision to stop led to conflicting control inputs, including an uncoordinated increase in engine power followed by sudden braking.
