Incident Overview
Description
A Dornier 328-100 operated by South East Asian Airlines sustained substantial damage in a runway excursion accident at Manila-Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Philippines. The flight landed on runway 13. After selecting reverse prop the aircraft was still aligned with the runway but after the condition lever was pulled by the captain, the aircraft made a sudden turn to the left and the first officer who was still Pilot Flying could not regain directional control. The aircraft went off the runway and settled some 130 meters on the left side of the runway against the main drainage canal. The aircraft sustained substantial damage. There were no injuries among the crew and passengers. PROBABLE CAUSE: “This accident was caused by the failure of the Captain to take positive control of the aircraft after the F/O landed the aircraft. He engaged the CL to minimum without holding the tiller to steer the nose wheel which is now with 60§ left and right range. Additionally, if the black boxes of the aircraft which met an accident on December 18, 2006 were read before they were ordered released to the Vice President of SEAIR, it could have help prevent this accident.”
