Runway excursion and aircraft destruction at Campo de Marte

No fatalities • Angra dos Reis, Brazil • Landing (descent or approach)

An aircraft experienced a runway excursion and subsequent cartwheel during landing at Campo de Marte, resulting in a total loss of the airframe.

What happened

During a routine flight departing from Campo de Marte, the crew began their approach toward runway 10. Upon making contact with the 961-meter runway, the flight crew attempted to execute standard braking maneuvers. However, the aircraft began to skid along the runway surface, leading to a cartwheel motion.

As the sequence progressed, the aircraft overran the end of the runway. During the excursion, the aircraft sustained the loss of both main landing gear assemblies before coming to a final stop six meters beyond the runway threshold. There were no injuries reported among the two pilots, who both managed to evacuate the wreckage safely. The aircraft was subsequently declared a total loss due to the extent of the structural damage.

Findings

  • The aircraft experienced a loss of directional control following touchdown.
  • The primary factor in the accident was the skidding of the aircraft on the runway surface during the braking phase.

Probable cause

The aircraft lost traction during the braking phase of landing, leading to a skid and subsequent cartwheel.
