Runway overrun at Saltillo Airport involving twin-engine aircraft

No fatalities • Saltillo, Mexico • Landing (descent or approach)

A twin-engine aircraft performing a taxi flight overran the runway at Saltillo Airport, resulting in significant aircraft damage but no injuries.

What happened

On a scheduled taxi flight from Monterrey-General Mariano Escobido Airport, a twin-engine aircraft arrived at Saltillo Airport at approximately 13:05 local time. The flight, which included two pilots and two passengers, was operating between Monterrey and Saltillo.

Upon touchdown on runway 35, the aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently before the end of the paved surface. The momentum of the plane caused it to exit the runway and travel an additional 50 metres into a terrain characterized by rocky ground.

Findings

  • The aircraft sustained damage beyond repair due to the impact with the rocky area.
  • All four occupants successfully evacuated the wreckage without sustaining any injuries.
  • The primary factor in the incident was the inability to stop within the available runway distance following landing.

Probable cause

The aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently to remain on the runway, leading to a runway overrun.
