A twin-engine airplane failed to stop after landing on runway 10, resulting in an excursion into a body of water.

What happened

Upon completing the landing phase on runway 10, the twin engine airplane experienced a loss of braking capability or insufficient stopping distance. The aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently before reaching the end of the paved surface. Consequently, the plane overran the runway and exited the airfield environment, eventually coming to a stop in a nearby area of water.

Findings

  • There were no fatalities or injuries reported following the incident.
  • The primary factor in the excursion was the aircraft's inability to stop within the available runway length after touchdown.

Probable cause

The aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently during the landing roll, leading to a runway overrun into water.
