What happened
During the landing phase of the flight, the aircraft approached Gia Nghĩa Airstrip and touched down on the runway. Following the touchdown, the pilot was unable to decelerate the plane sufficiently before the end of the available runway surface. As a result, the aircraft overran the pavement and exited the landing area.
The movement of the plane continued until it came to a halt inside a ditch located adjacent to the airstrip. Despite the impact with the terrain, there were no fatalities or injuries reported among those on board.
Findings
- The primary factor in the incident was the inability to stop within the remaining runway distance following landing.
