Description

On 2 October 2010 a Boeing 737-400 being operated by Turkish operator Corendon Airlines on a passenger flight from Dalaman to Amsterdam made a late touchdown on landing runway 22 at destination in normal daylight visibility conditions and failed to stop before the end of the runway. The overrun occurred at low speed and there were no injuries to the 173 occupants and only minor damage to the aircraft.

Investigation

An Investigation was carried out by the Dutch Safety Board. It was found that the 30 minute Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) had not been stopped after the incident and consequently contained no useful data, which the Board stated had “hampered the investigation and made reconstructing the event difficult”. Flight Data Recorder (FDR) data was found to be of “poor quality” but fortunately equivalent data had been recorded on the QAR and was successfully downloaded. The Investigation report does not contain any reference to interviews with the pilots involved.

The final resting position of the nose of the aircraft was recorded as 9 metres beyond the runway paved surface with the main landing gear remaining on the runway.
