What happened
During the landing phase at Batumi Airport, the aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently before the end of the runway. As the vessel attempted to stop within the available distance, it overran the runway surface. During the excursion, the aircraft sustained damage to its nose gear, which subsequently detached from the airframe. The aircraft eventually came to a complete stop after the overrun.
There were no fatalities or injuries reported among the occupants during the incident. However, the aircraft sustained damage that was classified as beyond repair.
Findings
Investigations into the incident highlighted environmental conditions as a significant factor. It was noted that the runway surface had not been completely cleared of snow prior to the arrival of the aircraft, which likely contributed to the loss of braking effectiveness.
