SpiceJet flight SG703 suffered a runway excursion after landing on runway 27 at Mumbai-Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in India. Weather at the time of the incident was poor with a thunderstorm in the area with associated heavy rainfall.
The aircraft failed to stop on the runway and overran. The undercarriage sank through a layer of gravel and became stuck in a soft soil. An emergency evacuation was carried out.
Runway 27 has a Landing Distance Available (LDA) of 2965 meters.
Probable cause of the Incident:
- The aircraft left the runway end paved area and went into slush area as PF continuously flew well above the planned approach descent profile with flap 30 during the last segment of the approach, not going around after an unstable approach (due weather), maintaining high power settings till close to touchdown, which was well beyond the touchdown zone of the wet and waterlogged runway, changing the brakes to manual as auto brakes were not immediately effective upon engagement due aqua-planning.
- Failure of CRM particularly deciding on going around.
Weather report about the time of the incident: (21:55 LT = 16:25Z)
