Runway overrun involving aircraft at Aruanã airport

No fatalities • Aruanã, Brazil • Landing (descent or approach)

An aircraft traveling from Goiânia to Aruanã overran the runway during landing, resulting in injuries to all seven occupants and heavy damage to the plane.

What happened

A flight traveling from Goiânia to Aruanã, carrying five passengers and two crew members, experienced an accident during the landing phase. The aircraft arrived at the destination to transport passengers to a funeral service. Upon touchdown on runway 24, which measures 1,2ally 280 meters in length, the aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently within the available runway distance.

As the aircraft exited the paved surface, the nose landing gear collapsed upon contact with soft terrain. The momentum of the aircraft led to a collision with a concrete fence. The sequence of events concluded when the plane struck a second fence approximately 150 meters further along its path. The incident resulted in seven injuries, including one serious injury to the captain. The aircraft was declared a total loss due to damage sustained during the excursion.

Findings

  • The aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining runway length after touchdown.
  • The aircraft overran the runway and entered soft ground, causing the nose gear to collapse.

Probable cause

The aircraft failed to stop within the runway limits, leading to a runway excursion and subsequent structural failure of the nose gear.
