What happened
During a routine local training operation at Rio de Janeiro-Santos Dumont Airport, a four-engine airplane experienced a runway excursion. Following the touchdown on the runway, the aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently within the available remaining distance. This lack of stopping power caused the plane to overrun the runway limits.
While the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss, there were no casualties reported among the personnel on board. The three crew members involved in the flight escaped the incident without any injuries.
Findings
- The aircraft failed to come to a halt before the end of the runway.
- The impact and subsequent excursion resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair.
