What happened
During the landing phase on runway 07 at Le Bourget Airport, the aircraft experienced a structural failure involving the left main landing gear. As the gear collapsed, the aircraft lost directional control and veered toward the left side of the runway. The movement continued until the aircraft came to a complete stop off the paved surface.
Despite the impact and the subsequent excursion, all 9 occupants were able to exit the aircraft without injury. The incident resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss, as the damage sustained was beyond repair. Following the event, the aircraft was officially withdrawn from service at the LBG station.
Findings
- The primary cause of the runway excursion was the collapse of the left main landing gear during the landing roll.
