On December 22, 1953, a Lockheed P-2 Neptune (registration 122964) operated by United States Navy - USN was involved in an aviation accident near Hong Kong-Kai Tak, China during landing or approach. No fatalities were reported. Investigators recorded the probable cause as: The aircraft failed to stop within the runway limits due to an extended landing touchdown point. This summary draws on records from the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives (B3A); 8 related events involving the same aircraft type or operator are linked below.
An aircraft experienced a runway excursion during its landing phase, resulting in a post-crash fire with no reported injuries.
What happened
During the landing phase of the flight, the aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently before the end of the available runway. Due to an inability to stop within the remaining distance of the pavement, the aircraft overran the runway surface.
Following the excursion from the runway, the vessel came to a halt in a state of combustion. Despite the intensity of the resulting flames, there were no casualties reported among those on board.
Findings
The primary factor in the incident was that the aircraft landed long, preventing a safe stop within the runway boundaries.
Probable cause
The aircraft failed to stop within the runway limits due to an extended landing touchdown point.
