Event Description
A cargo flight operating from Bogotá to San Andrés Island experienced a tyre burst during its takeoff roll after exceeding V1 speed. The captain continued the rotation and completed the takeoff. During initial climb, the crew informed air traffic control about the situation and entered a holding circuit for approximately two hours to burn fuel.
Sequence of Events
After the holding period, the aircraft conducted an approach that was described as unstable. The landing occurred too far down the runway. As the captain assessed that the aircraft could not be stopped within the remaining runway distance, he decided to retract the landing gear. The aircraft then slid on its belly, overran the runway end, went through a fence, and came to rest in a ravine located 100 meters beyond the fence.
Occupants and Cargo
The aircraft was carrying six passengers, three crew members, and a cargo load of 70 boxes of dynamite on behalf of the Ministry of Defense. All nine occupants evacuated the aircraft without injury. The dynamite did not explode during the accident sequence.
Damage
The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it beyond economical repair, but no further details about the extent of damage were provided.
