What happened
During a night flight originating from Buenos Aires-Ezeiza-Ministro Pistarini Airport, the crew initiated an approach to Bahía Blanca-Comandante Espora Airport. The arrival and subsequent landing on runway 34R initially proceeded without incident. However, as the crew applied braking after touchdown, the aircraft traveled approximately 1,200 metres before experiencing a rightward deviation from the runway centerline.
Following the departure from the paved surface, the aircraft continued to roll for an additional 150 metres. During this excursion, the nose landing gear collapsed, causing the aircraft to come to a final stop. While the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss, all three occupants managed to exit the wreckage without any reported injuries.
Findings
- The aircraft veered off the runway following the application of brakes.
- The incident resulted in the loss of the nose gear due to the excursion.
