What happened
During the landing phase at runway 28, the aircraft was operating with an incorrect approach configuration. This error caused the plane to remain too high on the glide path, which subsequently resulted in the aircraft touching down significantly further down the runway than intended.
Upon making contact with the runway surface, the pilot was unable to decelerate the aircraft sufficiently within the remaining available distance. The aircraft overran the end of the runway and ultimately collided with piles of gravel located beyond the threshold. The impact caused the aircraft to be damaged beyond repair.
Findings
- The primary factor in the excursion was an incorrect approach configuration.
- The high glide path prevented a standard touchdown point, reducing the available stopping distance.
- There were 34 injuries reported among the occupants, while seven other individuals on board remained unhurt.
