What happened
On the afternoon of the incident, an executive flight departed from Curitiba-Afonso Pena Airport at 12:40 local time, bound for Foz do Iguaçu. The flight was operated with a crew of two pilots and one passenger on board.
During the approach to Foz do Iguaçu-Cataratas Airport, the flight crew initiated the descent phase. The aircraft successfully completed its landing on runway 32, which was noted to be wet at the time of arrival. However, following the touchdown, the crew was unable to decelerate the aircraft sufficiently. This led to a runway overrun, where the plane exited the paved surface and came to a stop in a nearby ravine.
While the aircraft sustained damage beyond repair, all three occupants managed to evacuate the wreckage without injury.
Findings
- The landing occurred on a wet runway surface.
- The aircraft failed to stop within the available runway length, leading to the excursion.
