Aircraft overrun at Masbate Airport

No fatalities • Masbate, Philippines • Landing (descent or approach)

A twin-engine aircraft failed to stop after landing at Masbate Airport, resulting in a collision with a concrete wall.

What happened

Following its arrival at Masbate Airport, a twin-engine aircraft experienced a loss of braking capability or insufficient stopping distance during the landing roll. The aircraft failed to come to a halt within the available runway length, causing it to overshoot the end of the pavement. As the aircraft overran the runway, it veered toward the right side of the path and struck a concrete wall.

Despite the impact, there were no casualties among the passengers or crew. All 47 occupants successfully evacuated the aircraft without injury. The impact with the structure resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss, as it sustained damage beyond repair.

Findings

At the time of the incident, meteorological conditions indicated a wind originating from 040 degrees at 11 knots, with gusts reaching up to 14 knots. The primary factor in the accident was the inability of the aircraft to stop within the remaining runway distance.

Probable cause

The aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently during the landing roll, leading to a runway overrun and subsequent collision with a wall.
