IL76, Yerevan Armenia, 2019

IL76, Yerevan Armenia, 2019

Summary

On 16 May 2019, an Ilyushin Il-76 overran the end of the landing runway at Yerevan after completing an ILS approach because the crew hadn’t realised until it was too late to stop that the available landing distance was reduced at the far end of the runway. The Investigation noted that it would have been possible to stop the aircraft in the distance available and attributed the lack of flight crew awareness to a combination of their own lack of professionalism and that exhibited by the Dispatcher and to the inadequacy and lack of clarity in the NOTAM communications advising the change.

Description

On 16 May 2019, an Ilyushin Il76 (EP-PUS) being operated by Pouya Air on a non-scheduled international cargo flight from Tehran Mehrabad to Yerevan as YA2395 overran the temporarily reduced available landing distance at destination after making an ILS approach in day VMC. No significant obstructions were encountered during the overrun and the aircraft sustained only minor tyre damage caused when it ran over and destroyed one of the runway end lights.

Investigation

An Investigation was carried out by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Board (AAIB) of the Iran Civil Aviation Organisation (CAO) after delegation from the Armenian Civil Aviation Committee on behalf of the State of Occurrence. The FDR was removed from the aircraft and data relevant to the event were downloaded but the CVR was found not to have been isolated after the event and relevant data from it was therefore overwritten.

It was noted that the 51 year-old Captain, who had been PF for the flight, had a total of 7,800 flying hours which included 3,210 hours on type. The 55 year-old First Officer had a total of 4,955 flying hours which included 3,000 hours on type.
