Single-engine aircraft overrun during landing

No fatalities • Mae Hong Son, Thailand • Landing (descent or approach)

A single-engine airplane failed to stop on the runway during its landing roll, resulting in an excursion and significant damage.

What happened

During the landing phase of the flight, a single-engine aircraft experienced a loss of braking capability or insufficient stopping distance. As the plane approached the end of the runway, it was unable to decelerate sufficiently within the available pavement.

As a result of the overrun, the aircraft exited the runway surface and continued moving until it eventually came to a halt. While the incident resulted in no fatalities or injuries, the impact and subsequent excursion caused extensive damage to the airframe. The aircraft was subsequently determined to be a total loss, as the structural damage was deemed beyond repair.

Findings

The primary factor in the accident was the aircraft's inability to come to a stop within the remaining length of the runway during its landing roll.

Probable cause

The aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently to remain on the runway during the landing roll.
