Aircraft Undercarriage Collapse During Landing (S9-BAT)

Incident Overview and Outcome During the landing phase, the aircraft's undercarriage collapsed. Following the gear failure, the aircraft slid on its belly for a few dozen meters before veering off the runway to the right. The aircraft ultimately came to rest in a sandy area. All four crew members on board escaped the incident uninjured. Despite the successful evacuation, the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it beyond repair. ## Runway Details and Contributing Factors The runway involved in the incident, designated as 14/32, has a length of 4,265 feet. Investigators believe the aircraft touched down a few meters short of the runway. This premature touchdown is believed to have caused the landing gear to be torn off, leading to the subsequent undercarriage collapse and the aircraft sliding off the paved surface.
