Incident
A flight from San José concluded with a landing on soggy runway 02 at San Isidro de El General Airport. After touchdown, the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It overran the runway by 20 feet and collided with a house.
Occupants and Casualties
All three crew members on board evacuated safely. A baby residing in the house was killed.
Probable Cause
The official investigation determined that the crew could not hold back the aircraft on its landing run due to the ineffectiveness of the brakes on an extremely wet runway. This condition was aggravated by the fact that the aircraft was operating with almost maximum landing weight.
