What happened
Following the completion of its landing at Invercargill Airport, a twin engine aircraft experienced significant issues attempting to decelerate on the runway. The aircraft was unable to come to a halt within the paved surface, leading to an overrun of the runway. During this excursion, the plane exited the runway area and settled in a nearby ditch.
There were two occupants on board at the time of the incident, consisting of the pilot and a second crew member. Both the pilots remained uninjured during the event. However, the impact and the position of the aircraft in the ditch resulted in the airframe being damaged beyond repair.
Findings
Investigations into the accident determined that the primary factor leading to the loss of control following the landing was a failure of the braking system.
