Description
The aircraft overran runway 02 on landing. The Convair collided with lumber piled up 124 m past the runway end, and fell into the dried-up Urakawa River. PROBABLE CAUSE: “The overlapping effects of excessive air speed in touchdown, inoperative propeller reversing, insufficient effect of the foot brake and the counter effect of the second reversing operations, although it is very difficult to judge to what degree any of the above-mentioned causes affect this accident.”
Primary Cause
Excessive air speed during touchdown, combined with inoperative propeller reversing, insufficient effect of the foot brake and counteracting reversing operations, and difficulties in determining the precise impact of these factors.Excessive air speed during touchdown, combined with inoperative propeller reversing, insufficient effect of the foot brake and counteracting reversing operations, and difficulties in determining the precise impact of these factors.Share on:
