What happened
During the landing phase on runway 24, the aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently to remain on the paved surface. Unable to halt within the available runway length, the aircraft exited the runway and traveled down an embankment. The sequence of events concluded when the plane came to a stop in the Gandaki River, an impact that resulted in the right wing being severed from the airframe.
Findings
- The aircraft overran the runway due to an inability to stop within the remaining distance.
- The impact with the terrain caused significant structural damage, specifically the loss of the right wing.
- All 19 occupants were successfully rescued from the wreckage.
- The incident resulted in 3 injuries among the passengers and crew.
