The aircraft overran the runway by approximately 100 meters, resulting in the collapse of the NLG.
Description
The aircraft operated on flight SG416 (Jakarta-Yokyakarta-Denpasar) and arrived near Yokyakarta at 19:30 LT. A thunderstorm had just passed the airport; so RWY 09 (1858 m long) was wet with pools of standing water. After approaching with 30ø flaps, the Boeing 737 touched down and overran the runway by ca. 100 m and the NLG collapsed.
Primary Cause
Sudden thunderstorm conditions near the airport created a highly unstable surface, leading to rapid deceleration and loss of control during touchdown.Sudden thunderstorm conditions near the airport created a highly unstable surface, leading to rapid deceleration and loss of control during touchdown.Share on:
