Aircraft excursion during landing due to crosswinds

No fatalities • Kunmadaras AFB, Hungary • Landing (descent or approach)

An aircraft veered off the runway during its landing phase after encountering significant crosswinds, resulting in a hull loss but no injuries.

What happened

During the landing phase of the flight, the aircraft encountered intense crosswinds that disrupted its path on the runway. As the plane attempted to land, these wind conditions caused it to veer off the active runway surface. The aircraft eventually came to a stop after the excursion.

No injuries were reported among the three crew members involved in the incident. However, the impact and the excursion resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss, as it sustained damage beyond repair.

Findings

  • The primary factor contributing to the runway excursion was the presence of strong crosswinds during the landing sequence.

Probable cause

Strong crosswinds caused the aircraft to veer off the runway during landing.
