Aircraft overrun at Kansk-Dalniy Airport following diversion

No fatalities • Kansk, Russia • Landing (descent or approach)

An aircraft diverted from its original destination due to adverse weather and subsequently overran the runway after landing below established minima.

What happened

During a flight originating from Krasnoyarsk-Severny Airport, the flight crew initiated an approach toward Kansk-Tsentralny. However, encountering unfavorable meteorological conditions, the decision was made to divert the flight to Kansk-Dalniy Airport.

Upon arriving at the diversion airfield, the crew performed a landing despite weather conditions that were below the required visibility minima. Following the touchdown on the runway, the aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently within the available runway length. This resulted in a runway overrun, during which the plane struck an obstacle before coming to a final stop. There were no fatalities or injuries reported among the occupants.

Findings

  • The landing was conducted in weather conditions that did not meet the prescribed minimums.
  • The aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining runway distance following touchdown.

Probable cause

The aircraft overran the runway after being landed in weather conditions below established minimums.
