What happened
During a flight originating from Bucharest-Otopeni Airport, the crew initiated an approach toward Oradea Airport under marginal weather conditions. As the aircraft progressed on its final approach, the pilot-in-command maintained visual contact with runway 19 and proceeded with the descent.
The aircraft touched down 761 metres beyond the runway threshold. Due to insufficient remaining runway length, the pilot was unable to bring the plane to a halt before it exited the paved surface. The aircraft subsequently overran the runway and came to a stop in a drainage ditch, positioned 420 metres before the threshold of runway 01. While the aircraft sustained damage beyond repair, all 13 occupants managed to exit the wreckage uninjured.
Findings
- The approach was conducted in marginal weather conditions.
- The aircraft failed to stop within the available runway distance after touchdown.
