The Airbus Industry Type A300B4-622R Type JA8565, which belongs to Nippon Air System Co., Ltd., took off from Tokyo International Airport at 19:12 on Thursday, February 20, 2003, as a regular 169 flight of Nippon Air System Co., Ltd. I landed on runway 24 at Aomori Airport, it’s destination, but It couldn't stop on runway 24, so It overran the runway around 20:54 and stopped.
The plane was boarded by the captain, 8 crew members, 141 passengers, a total of 150 people, but one passenger was slightly injured.
This serious incident is presumed to have been caused by the aircraft landing on a snow-covered runway during a tailwind in snowfall, continuing its approach with a speed significantly exceeding the target final approach speed. As a result, the aircraft was in a floating state before touchdown, which delayed the landing point, making it impossible to stop within the runway and leading to a runway overrun.
The following factors are considered to be involved in the occurrence of this serious incident:
1. The aircraft continued the approach at a speed significantly higher than the final approach speed, and when the first officer made a deviation call regarding the final approach speed, the captain did not perform a go-around.
2. When the touchdown point was delayed and the first officer called "over zone," the captain still did not perform a go-around.
3. After touchdown, the aircraft experienced "reverted rubber hydroplaning," which further extended the landing distance.
4. The crew's awareness of the possibility of extended landing distance due to snowfall and the critical importance of final approach speed and touchdown point control was insufficient.
5. The captain did not have a clear target for the touchdown point at the time of landing.
6. The runway surface condition, due to continued snowfall, deteriorated over time, and the braking action changed from "MEDIUM" to "MEDIUM TO POOR" or a similarly poor condition.
