What happened
A cargo flight carrying electronics and garments departed from Shanghai-Hongqiao Airport at 21:16 local time, destined for Subic Bay. Upon arrival at Subic Bay Airport, the weather was characterized by light rain, calm winds, and visibility of six kilometers, with scattered clouds at 1,800 and 7,000 feet.
At 23:15 local time, the aircraft touched down on runway 07, which has a length of 2,400 meters. Due to the wet surface of the runway, the aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently within the available distance. This led to an overrun of the runway, causing the aircraft to plunge into Subic Bay. The accident resulted in two injuries to the crew, and the aircraft was a total loss.
Findings
- The primary factor in the accident was the inability to stop on the wet runway before the end of the pavement.
