The Transportation Safety Board identifies a number of factors that led to a North Star Air aircraft skidding off the end of the Kasabonika airport.
None of the eight people on board, six passengers and two crew members, were hurt in last November’s incident.
The plane sustained substantial damage to its landing gear, propeller, engine and cowling.
The fuselage was also buckled, while the wings, ailerons, and flaps sustained extensive damage.
An investigation by the Board cites the plane’s initial landing point, speed and wind conditions as contributing factors.
It notes the plane first touched down on the runway 1,200 feet from its threshold.
It ended up 350 feet from the end of the runway.
North Star Air has since revised its standard operating procedures since the incident.
The Board says it is important aircraft have adequate safety areas beyond the end of the runway strip to reduce the potential of an overrun.
The Kasabonika Airport is not mandated to have such an area.
