What happened
While performing a takeoff roll on runway 07 at San José-Juan Santamaría Airport, the aircraft experienced a sudden tire burst. In response to the mechanical failure, the captain executed an aborted takeoff and applied emergency braking. Despite these efforts, the aircraft could not stop before the end of the runway.
The aircraft subsequently overran the runway, during which it lost its undercarriage and struck various obstacles. The sequence ended when the plane came to a halt near the airport's perimeter fence. Although the aircraft sustained damage beyond repair, there were no injuries among the six occupants on board.
Findings
- A tire burst occurred during the takeoff phase.
- The aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently within the available runway length.
