Runway excursion at Erechim-Comandante Kraemer Airport

No fatalities • Erechim-Comandante Kraemer, Brazil • Landing (descent or approach)

An aircraft overran the runway during a landing in heavy rain at Erechim-Comandante Kraemer Airport, resulting in landing gear separation.

What happened

During an approach to Runway 14 at Erelim-Comandante Kraemer Airport, the aircraft encountered intense rainfall. Upon making touchdown, the crew initiated braking maneuvers; however, the aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently before the end of the runway.

As the aircraft exited the paved surface, it crossed a small roadway. The force of the excursion caused the plane to lose its undercarriage. The sequence ended when the aircraft came to a halt in an adjacent open field. There were five occupants on board during the incident. All individuals were successfully rescued from the wreckage, though four people sustained minor injuries.

Findings

  • The landing occurred during periods of heavy rainfall.
  • The aircraft failed to stop within the available runway length despite braking efforts.

Probable cause

The aircraft failed to stop on the runway due to insufficient braking distance during heavy rain.
