What happened
During the final approach to runway 02, the flight crew noted a significant discrepancy in airspeed. The co-pilot alerted the captain that the approach speed exceeded the required reference speed by approximately 20 knots. Although the captain intended to adjust the speed, the aircraft type/model (not specified in source) touched down with a speed of 142 knots, which was roughly 14 knots above the appropriate reference speed for the current weight and atmospheric conditions.
Because of this high speed, the aircraft failed to stop within the available landing distance. The runway, which has a total length of 2,010 metres, had a displaced threshold that reduced the usable landing distance to 1,700 metres. The aircraft came to rest 993 metres before the end of the runway. Following the overrun, the plane traveled down an embankment, crossed a road, and eventually struck a second embankment, where the fuselage broke into two pieces. The aircraft, owned by TVPX and operated by Silver Air, was destroyed in the accident.
Findings
- The aircraft touched down at a speed significantly higher than the calculated reference speed.
- Excessive approach speed prevented the crew from stopping the aircraft within the 1,700-metre landing distance available due to the displaced threshold.
- All six occupants on board sustained slight injuries.
