What happened
During an arrival at La Palma Airport, the aircraft touched down on runway 03. At the time of the landing, the runway surface was wet and the aircraft was experiencing a tailwind component. Following touchdown, the pilot was unable to decelerate the plane sufficiently to remain within the paved area. The aircraft subsequently overran the end of the runway and came to a stop after descending down an embankment.
Findings
- The landing occurred on a wet runway.
- A tailwind component contributed to the increased stopping distance required.
- There were no fatalities or injuries reported during the incident.
- The aircraft sustained damage so severe that it was written off.
