What happened
During a routine local training mission conducted at Ramstein Air Base, an aircraft lost directional control immediately after landing. Following the touchdown on the runway, the plane veered toward the left side of the strip and eventually came to a stop off the paved surface.
While the incident resulted in no injuries to the crew, the impact and excursion caused extensive damage to the airframe. The aircraft was subsequently determined to be a total loss, as it was damaged beyond repair.
Findings
- The aircraft veered off the runway following the landing phase.
- The primary factor in the accident was the loss of control after touchdown.
