Description
A Flamingo Air Beechcraft 99 Airliner suffered a left landing gear collapse and overran the runway on landing at Black Point Airstrip (MYEB), Exuma. The eleven POB were not injured and the aircraft received substantial damage. Upon landing on runway 11 there was a collapse of the left main landing gear which led to the aircraft veering off to the left side of the runway. It then travelled a distance of approximately 1,516 feet down the runway, at which point it exited the useable paved portion of the runway (left side), ultimately coming to rest in bushes after travelling an additional 265 feet. There were damages observed to the left wing, left propeller, and aircraft undercarriage including the pod.
