A three-engine airplane failed to decelerate sufficiently after landing, resulting in a runway overrun and significant damage to the airframe.

What happened

Following the touchdown on the runway, the three-engine aircraft was unable to come to a halt within the available runway length. The momentum of the plane caused it to overshoot the landing area, leading to a runway excursion. The aircraft eventually came to a stop after overrunning the pavement.

While the incident resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss due to damage sustained during the event, there were zero fatalities and no injuries reported among those on board.

Findings

  • The primary factor in the accident was the aircraft's inability to stop within the remaining runway distance after landing.

Probable cause

The aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently during the landing roll, leading to a runway overrun.
