E145, Stuttgart Germany, 2009

Summary

On 5 January 2009, a Flybe Embraer 145 made a late touchdown with slight snow falling on a runway pre-notified as affected by slush deposits and failed to stop until it had overrun into the RESA where it finally stopped on a heading 25º off the runway alignment. The Investigation concluded that although the airport operator process for determining braking action was flawed and two Safety Recommendations were made in that respect, the overrun of the 3045metres LDA was attributable to flight crew action and that operator guidance was deficient.

Description

On 5 January 2009, an Embraer 145 being operated by Flybe on a scheduled passenger flight from Birmingham to Stuttgart overran runway 07 at destination after a touchdown in normal day visibility and had only come to a stop in the subsequent Runway End Safety Area. None of the occupants were injured and all subsequently left the aircraft by use of the passenger stairs. Minor damage was caused to both the aircraft and to airfield lighting.

Investigation

An Investigation was carried out by the German BFU. DFDR and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) information were available and successfully downloaded. It was noted that the aircraft commander had been PF and that their considerable aircraft type and overall experience was in marked contrast to that of the co pilot who had little flying experience which had mainly been obtained on the accident type.
