Incident Overview and Flight Progression On January 27, 2020, at 03:12 UTC, Caspian Airlines Flight 6936, an MD83 with registration EP-CPZ, departed Mehrabad International Airport and climbed to flight level 320. The aircraft was operating under an Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) flight plan in Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC). At approximately 03:45:37 UTC, the flight was proceeding on Airway B417 at its assigned flight level. Due to traffic from an A320 (IRA356) departing Abadan Airport, the Area Control Center (ACC) controller issued a direct routing to the GODMO position for CPN 6936. At 03:49:34 UTC, the pilot requested descent clearance, and the flight was subsequently cleared to flight level 100. At 03:52:30 UTC, the pilot contacted Mahshahr Air Traffic Services (AFISO), reporting a position 50 nautical miles inbound to GODMO with an estimated time over the fix at 03:59 UTC. The AFISO provided initial approach information for a VOR approach to Runway 31 via the GODMO 1E arrival. However, at 03:53:33 UTC, the pilot requested Runway 13, and the AFISO issued a VOR/DME approach to Runway 13 via the GODMO 1F arrival. The pilot reported approaching GODMO at 03:59:39 UTC and confirmed the position at 04:00:41 UTC. At 04:02:46 UTC, the pilot reported leaving the Initial Approach Fix (IAF) and received landing clearance for Runway 13. The aircraft landed on Runway 13 at 04:06:11 UTC. After passing two-thirds of the runway length, the aircraft ran off the end of the runway at Mahshahr Airport, located in Khuzestan province.
