What happened
Upon completing its landing at Land's End Airport in St Just, a twin engine airplane experienced difficulties decelerating on the runway. The aircraft was unable to come to a halt within the available runway length, leading to an overrun of the landing area. During the excursion, the plane moved off the paved surface and collided with a hedge.
There were six occupants on board at the time of the incident. Following the impact, all passengers and crew members were successfully evacuated from the aircraft without injury. While no fatalities or injuries were reported, the collision resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss due to damage sustained during the event.
Findings
- The primary factor in the accident was the inability to stop within the remaining runway distance following touchdown.
