Runway excursion and post-crash fire at São Pedro Airport

No fatalities • São Pedro, Brazil • Landing (descent or approach)

An aircraft overran the runway at São Pedro Airport after failing to stop, resulting in a collision with obstacles and a subsequent fire.

What happened

During the landing phase at São Pedro Airport, the aircraft touched down on runway 29. Following the landing, the crew attempted to execute braking procedures; however, the aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently to remain on the paved surface. The plane continued past the end of the runway, striking several obstacles along its path.

After the initial collision, the aircraft descended down a 10-metre embankment and traveled an additional 130 metres before coming to a final stop. A fire broke out following the impact, which ultimately led to the destruction of the aircraft. Despite the intensity of the post-crash fire, all four occupants managed to evacuate the plane without injury.

Findings

  • The aircraft failed to stop within the available runway distance following touchdown.
  • The sequence of events involved an overrun, impact with obstacles, and a descent down an embankment.

Probable cause

The aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently during the landing roll, leading to a runway excursion and subsequent collision.
