What happened
Following its arrival at Hadibu Airport on Socotra Island, an aircraft experienced significant issues with deceleration on the runway. As the runway end approached, the captain executed a sudden left-hand turn to steer the plane off the paved surface. During this maneuver, the right main landing gear collapsed. The aircraft subsequently skidded out of control before coming to a final stop. There were no fatalities among the 17 occupants, all of whom were evacuated from the wreckage without injury. However, the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
Findings
Investigations into the accident identified several contributing elements. The pilot-in-command lacked sufficient familiarity with the specific characteristics of the airport. Furthermore, the crew landed with a tailwind component that was not properly accounted for during the approach. This situation was exacerbated by inaccurate wind information provided to the flight crew and the use of ground equipment that was not suitable for the operational requirements.
