What happened
During an arrival at Rome-Ciampino Airport, an aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently after touching down on runway 15. The runway, which measures 2,207 metres in length, did not provide enough distance to bring the plane to a halt. As a result, the aircraft exited the paved surface and collided with a localizer antenna before coming to a stop.
At the time of the incident, the runway surface was wet due to ongoing rainfall. Although the impact caused significant damage, and the aircraft was subsequently deemed a total loss, there were no casualties. All five occupants on board managed to exit the aircraft without sustaining any injuries.
Findings
- The runway conditions were wet due to rain.
- The aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining runway length following landing.
