What happened
During the landing phase at Surin Airport, an aircraft experienced a mechanical failure involving its landing gear. Specifically, the tire located on the right main gear burst as the plane was touching down. This sudden failure caused the aircraft to become unstable and move out of control.
As a result of the loss of directional control, the aircraft veered away from the active runway and traveled into an adjacent ditch, where it eventually came to a stop. Despite the severity of the excursion, there were no casualties reported among those on board.
Findings
- The primary factor in the accident was the bursting of the right main gear tire during the landing sequence.
- This mechanical failure directly led to the subsequent loss of control and the departure from the runway.
