The aircraft was engaged on a non-scheduled transport passenger flight from Belfast to Sumburgh and
after a normal approach and landing to the main instrument runway was unable to stop in the land-
ing distance available. The aircraft was intentionally deviated from the paved surface to avoid running off the end of the runway into the sea and having done so the nose-wheel undercarriage leg collapsed.
There was no fire and no injuries to the 54 occupants. The report concludes that the accident was
caused by the aircraft.
