Aircraft runway excursion following touchdown

No fatalities • Buenos Aires-Ezeiza-Ministro Pistarini, Argentina • Landing (descent or approach)

An aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently after landing, resulting in a runway overrun with no reported injuries.

What happened

Upon completing the landing sequence and making contact with the runway, the aircraft was unable to achieve sufficient deceleration within the available runway length. As a result of this inability to stop, the vessel exited the paved surface and continued along the overrun area before eventually coming to a complete halt.

Despite the excursion from the runway, there were no reported fatalities or injuries among the occupants. The incident concluded without any loss of life or medical emergencies involving the crew or passengers.

Findings

  • The primary factor in the event was the inability to stop within the remaining distance available on the runway following touchdown.

Probable cause

The aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently after landing, leading to a runway overrun.
