An aircraft experienced an overrun following touchdown at Saltillo-Plan de Guadalupe Airport, resulting in structural damage but no injuries.

What happened

Upon landing at the Saltillo-Plan de Guadalupe Airport, the aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently within the available runway length. This lack of braking distance led to an excursion from the paved surface. During the overrun, the plane collided with various obstacles, which caused the separation of the undercarriage.

The movement continued for several dozen meters before the vehicle finally came to a halt. The aircraft involved carried the registrations TP-101 and XC-UJC. Despite the significant impact and the subsequent destruction of the aircraft type, there were no casualties reported among the occupants.

Findings

  • All seven individuals on board managed to exit the wreckage without sustaining any injuries.
  • The collision with obstacles resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss, as it was damaged beyond repair.
  • The primary factor in the accident was the inability to stop within the remaining runway distance after touchdown.

Probable cause

The aircraft failed to stop within the available runway length following touchdown, leading to an excursion and collision with obstacles.
