Accident Overview
A flight from Maracaibo ended in a runway overrun at Bogotá-El Dorado Airport after a night approach and landing on runway 13L. The aircraft came to rest beyond the paved surface, having passed through a perimeter fence and collapsing its left main landing gear.
Sequence of Events
Following an uneventful flight, the crew executed a night approach and landing. After touchdown, the pilots initiated the braking procedure. However, due to a technical problem with the left engine, the aircraft could not decelerate sufficiently to stop within the remaining runway length. It overran the runway, breached a perimeter fence, and came to rest in a grassy area with the left main gear folded. All 41 occupants were evacuated. Among them, two passengers sustained serious injuries. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Investigation Findings
Investigators determined the probable cause: carrying out a landing with an unresolved issue on the left engine, resulting in the inability to stop within the available distance. Contributing factors included the failure to correct maintenance reports in a satisfactory manner and the failure to properly follow up on repetitive maintenance entries.
