What happened
Upon completing the landing phase and making contact with the runway, the flight crew initiated standard braking operations. During this process, the aircraft lost directional control and drifted from the paved surface. The movement continued until the plane exited the runway environment and settled in a nearby ditch.
Despite the impact, all 21 occupants were able to evacuate the aircraft without sustaining any injuries. The aircraft itself sustained damage that was determined to be beyond economical repair.
Findings
- The aircraft departed the runway surface during the landing roll.
- Loss of directional control occurred during the braking sequence.
