Incident Overview
The approach to Tijuana-General Abelardo L. Rodríguez Airport was conducted in adverse weather conditions, with a cloud ceiling reported at 180 meters. The aircraft was on short final when the captain recognized that its position was not correct. Despite several corrective actions, these were executed inefficiently, leading to a hard landing with the right main gear contacting the runway first.
Landing and Runway Excursion
Upon impact, both tires on the right main gear burst. The aircraft subsequently lost directional control, veered to the right, and came to rest. All six occupants on board escaped without injury. The aircraft, however, sustained damage beyond repair.
Probable Cause
According to official findings, the probable cause of the incident was that the crew completed a landing procedure following an unstabilized approach and failed to initiate a go-around.
