What happened
During an approach to Sarajevo, the aircraft encountered challenging meteorological conditions characterized by heavy rainfall and significant wind gusts. Upon making contact with the runway, the pilot was unable to decelerate the aircraft sufficiently before the end of the paved surface. Consequently, the aircraft overran the runway and continued into a perimeter area where it struck various military installations.
While the impact caused extensive damage to the airframe, rendering it a total loss, there were no casualties among the occupants. The six crew members on board managed to evacuate the wreckage without sustaining any injuries.
Findings
- The incident occurred during the landing phase of flight.
- Adverse weather, specifically strong winds and rain, played a role in the inability to stop the aircraft within the available runway length.
