Runway excursion at Long Tieng Airstrip during heavy rain (XW-TDC)

What happened

During an approach and landing sequence at Long Tieng Airstrip, the aircraft encountered significant weather challenges due to heavy rainfall. Following the touchdown on the runway, the pilot lost control of the aircraft type (unspecified model). The plane subsequently veered off the designated runway surface.

As a result of the excursion, the aircraft's undercarriage was lost. The movement ended when the plane came to a final rest away from the runway. Despite the impact and the loss of landing gear, there were no fatalities or injuries reported among those on board.

Findings

• The incident occurred during a period of heavy rain falls.
• The sequence of events involved a loss of directional control immediately following touchdown.
