Incident Overview
A flight and approach proceeded without incident before the pilot-in-command executed a proper landing and initiated braking. During the braking sequence, one of the main landing gear assemblies contacted a hole present in the runway surface.
Sequence of Events
The impact with the hole caused the landing gear leg to fracture, leading to the collapse of the undercarriage. The aircraft then settled onto its belly and slid for a distance before overrunning the runway end. It came to rest approximately 40 meters beyond the runway threshold.
Aircraft Damage
The aircraft, which had been delivered new only a few weeks prior to the accident, sustained such extensive damage that it was considered beyond economical repair. There were no casualties among the occupants.
Probable Cause
The official finding attributes the accident to an undercarriage collapse upon contacting a hole in the runway surface.
