Description
Aeromxico Flight 250 departed Mexico City for an 85-minute flight to Reynosa. Landing at Reynosa, the aircraft was not able to stop before the runway end and overran. The DC-9 crashed through some houses and ended up in a ditch. The captain of the flight had more than 10,300 flight hours and numerous regular landings at the Reynosa airport since 1983, according to Aeromexico. Weather reported around 17:00 at Reynosa included a temperature of 77F/25C; 1014 mB and westerly wind at 5 mph with haze. The area had been subject to heavy rainfall due to tropical storm ‘Keith’. Probable cause: “Long landing and contact, after a high approach with excessive speed as a result of a non-precision approach, on a waterlogged runway and in adverse weather conditions (discharge of CB’s in the area), with the aircraft departing from the opposite runway threshold (113)”.
