What happened
Upon completing its landing at Nakatane Airport, a twin engine aircraft experienced issues maintaining deceleration within the available runway length. Following the touchdown, the plane was unable to come to a halt before the end of the paved surface. As the aircraft exited the runway, it overran the threshold and subsequently lost its undercarriage.
The excursion ended a short distance from the runway, with the aircraft coming to a stop several dozen yards beyond the landing area. Despite the impact of the overrun, there were no injuries reported among the occupants on board. However, the structural damage sustained during the event was severe enough that the aircraft was declared a total loss.
Findings
- The aircraft failed to stop within the remaining runway distance after touchdown.
