On Saturday 1 July 2000 at 1457, Great Barrier Airlines PA 32 aeroplane ZK-DSQ was on a charter flight to Great Mercury Island with 4 passengers when it overran the uphill grass runway on landing. No injury occurred, but the aircraft was substantially damaged.
The overrun resulted from excessive tailwind, and the pilot?s decision to land was probably based on an incorrect assessment of the tailwind component on the runway.
Safety issues identified include:
* the definition of the tailwind limitation in the airline?s operations manual
* the performance data in aircraft flight manuals
* the calibration of the automatic weather station on Great Mercury Island.
