What happened
Upon completing the landing phase at Madang Airport, the aircraft experienced a failure to decelerate effectively on the runway. During the rollout, the plane lost directional control and drifted toward the left side of the runway. The sequence ended when the aircraft veered off the paved surface and came to a final stop.
While there were no fatalities or injuries reported among those on board, the impact and excursion resulted in the aircraft being written off due to damage that exceeded repair capabilities.
Findings
Investigations into the incident suggest that the primary factor leading to the loss of braking effectiveness was mechanical issues with the braking system.
