Description

The Galaxy corporate jet sustained substantial damage in a runway excursion accident after landing at Oradea Airport (OMR), Romania. The en-route flight from Bucharest-Otopeni Airport to OMR and the approach flight were uneventful. The ILS approach to runway 19 was stabalized and the pilot-in-command took over the control of the aircraft, with the runway in sight. The aircraft touched down at 761m past the threshold of runway 19. The remaining runway length for braking was insufficient and resulted in the aircraft leaving the runway. After a roll of 450m, it came to a transverse stop on a drainage channel near the airport. The passengers did not suffer any injuries.
