Runway excursion during takeoff roll

No fatalities • Puebla-Hermanos Serdán-Huejotzingo, Mexico • Takeoff (climb)

An aircraft experienced a tire failure during its takeoff roll, resulting in a runway overrun and significant damage to the airframe.

What happened

While performing the takeoff roll on runway 35, the aircraft experienced a sudden failure of a tire on the right main landing gear. In response to the burst, the flight crew initiated an aborted takeoff procedure and applied emergency braking to halt the vehicle.

Despite these efforts, the aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently within the available runway length. This led to the aircraft overrunning the end of the runway before finally coming to a stop.

There were no injuries reported among the eight occupants on board. However, the incident resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss due to damage sustained during the excursion.

Findings

  • The primary factor in the excursion was the burst tire on the right main gear during the takeoff phase.

Probable cause

A tire failure on the right main landing gear during the takeoff roll prevented the aircraft from stopping within the runway limits.
