AT76, Jabalpur India, 2022

Summary

On 12 March 2022, an ATR76-600 captain made an unstabilised approach to Jabalpur, India, leading to a first bounce more than halfway along the runway and a final touchdown 400 metres from the runway end. The first officer took control but did not commence a go-around, and the aircraft overran the runway before stopping. The captain had just over four months command experience and had made six similar "high-severity long-flare" approaches in the previous five days. These had gone undetected because although such exceedances were supposedly being tracked by company flight data monitoring, this event was not being tracked.

Description

On 12 March 2022, an ATR76-600 (VT-AIW) operated by Alliance Air on a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Delhi to Jabalpur as 9I-9617 touched down at destination with 400 metres of runway remaining. It exited the runway end before travelling a further 60 metres beyond the end of the runway. The aircraft also deviated 45 metres to the left of its extended centreline before stopping. None of the 59 occupants were injured as a result of the overrun, but the right main gear wheels and hydraulics were damaged as was some of the runway lighting.
