Cessna 172M Runway Overrun at Karksi Airfield (ES-FCC)

Incident Overview and Location details are as follows: On August 1, 2015, at 10:23 local time, a single-engine Cessna 172M, registration ES-FCC, operated by Tackmer Air OÜ, attempted to land at Karksi Airfield (EEKI) in Estonia. The aircraft was on approach to runway 34. The pilot and two passengers were on board. The weather at the time was rainy, and the runway surface was wet. The pilot had previously conducted two aborted approaches to the same runway before deciding to land on the third attempt. The aircraft's wheels touched down 275 meters from the runway threshold. During the roll-out, the aircraft exceeded the end of the runway, broke through a wire fence, and struck a tree with the left side of its wing. The right side of the wing also hit a fence post. The impact caused the aircraft to rotate 180 degrees around its longitudinal axis. No fire broke out, and all three occupants exited the aircraft under their own power without sustaining injuries. The Safety Investigation Center (OJK) classified the event as an accident due to the extensive damage to the aircraft and conducted the investigation in accordance with ICAO Annex 13 and EU Regulation 996/2010.
