No fatalities • Jayapura-Sentani, Indonesia • Landing (descent or approach)

An aircraft traveling from Wamena to Jayapura veered off the runway and entered a ravine after experiencing hydraulic pressure loss during its landing roll.

What happened

As the aircraft was decelerating on the runway at a speed of approximately 60 knots, it began to drift toward the left side of the pavement. The aircraft subsequently exited the runway surface and traveled into a nearby ravine.

Outcomes

  • All 28 occupants on board were able to evacuate the aircraft without any reported injuries.
  • The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
