Narrative:
The aircraft landed far down Boma's 3609 feet long runway 21, overran and crashed into a ravine. It appeared that the pilots operated the normal and emergency brake systems simultaneously, which the flight manual forbids, and the aircraft was left with no brakes at all. The airplane had been leased from
Impulse-Aero.
