What happened
During a nighttime arrival at Neryungri Airport, an aircraft equipped with three engines experienced a loss of control following touchdown. The incident occurred while the flight was operating under marginal weather conditions and on a runway surface that was wet.
After making contact with the runway, the aircraft veered off the paved surface and came to a stop. Despite the severity of the excursion, all 29 occupants were able to evacuate the aircraft without injury. The impact of the event resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair.
Findings
- The landing took place during nighttime hours.
- Environmental factors included marginal visibility/weather and a wet runway surface.
- The primary factor leading to the excursion was the loss of directional control after touchdown on the slick surface.
