What happened
During an arrival at Muang Hein, located in the outskirts of Saigon, an aircraft encountered difficulties immediately following touchdown. The runway surface was notably wet at the time of the incident. As the plane completed its landing, it began to skid and subsequently drifted off the side of the active runway.
The movement continued until the vehicle reached a complete stop away from the paved surface. While the event resulted in no injuries to those on board, the impact or the nature of the excursion led to the aircraft being declared a total loss.
Findings
- The primary factor contributing to the loss of directional control was the wet condition of the runway during the landing phase.
