Category: Accident
A Xian MA60 passenger plane, XY-AIQ, experienced a runway excursion accident at Mong Hsat Airport (MOG) in Myanmar. Five passengers were injured, and the aircraft landed with significant damage, including a collapse of the left main landing gear. The flight originated from Yangon (RGN) to Mong Hsat (MOG) via Heho (HEH) and returned. The flight departed Heho on the return leg at 11:10, and the first officer, piloting the return leg, was on line training. The aircraft touched down on runway 12 with an IAS of 144 knots and subsequently overran the runway at 40 knots, colliding with a tree stump and a drainage ditch. The aircraft turned 80 degrees left and came to rest with a collapsed left main landing gear.A Xian MA60 passenger plane, XY-AIQ, experienced a runway excursion accident at Mong Hsat Airport (MOG) in Myanmar.

Description

A Xian MA60 passenger plane, registered XY-AIQ, sustained damage in a runway excursion accident at Mong Hsat Airport (MOG), Myanmar. There were 55 persons on board, two were injured. The airplane operated on a domestic flight from Yangon (RGN) to Mong Hsat (MOG) via Heho (HEH) and return. The flight left Heho on the return leg at 11:10. The first officer, who was on line training, was Pilot Flying on this leg. When the flight arrived near Mong Hsat the weather was fine with a visibility of about 8 km. The aircraft touched down on runway 12 with an indicated airspeed (IAS) of 144 knots. The airplane could not be stopped and overran the runway at an IAS of 40 knots. It collided with a tree stump and crossed a drainage ditch located 110 m from the runway end. The aircraft turned 80 degrees left and came to rest with a collapsed left hand main landing gear. Mong Hsat (also written as Monghsat), has a single 5000 ft (1500 m) runway 12/30. Primary Cause – During landing roll FO retracted PIA to GI position, its remain above Ground Idle position (36.8/ 36.6) degree. After (18) seconds flap position changed to retract and both engines torque start to increase. – Aircraft IAS unable to rapid decelerate during crews applied braking. Secondary Cause – Both crews are not initiated power lever reversing position. – Crews need multi-crew operation. (sic)

Primary Cause

Pilot error during landing roll, specifically the retracted PIA position and subsequent engine torque, resulted in reduced deceleration.Pilot error during landing roll, specifically the retracted PIA position and subsequent engine torque, resulted in reduced deceleration.
