Panama investigators recovered two flight recorders from a Fokker 50 that was destroyed in the runway overrun on Coron Island.
Air Panama Turboprop conducted an approach to Runway 27 at Bocas del Ro Airport on May 16, following services from Panama City.
However, Panama's civil aviation regulator AAC said the aircraft would “overshoot the runway after landing.”
AAC Director Rafael Barcenas Chiari says the Fokker 50 landed “under adverse weather conditions” shortly after 9pm.
The aircraft was placed under the fuselage, and the wings of the right board were separated from the perseverance.
The AAC identifies the turboprop as the HP-1899PST, a 1995 aircraft run by Australian Alliance Airlines and Taiwanese airlines.
Barcenas said the recovery officer handles removing 300 USGAL of fuel from the wreckage by obtaining two flight recorders and relocating them to investigators for analysis.
The aircraft pilot testified that the runway was not obstructed during the touchdown.
According to Air Panama, all passengers and crew on Flight 7p982 were “unharmed” after the accident, during which the aircraft “disappeared from the runway after landing.”
“The passengers and crew were evacuated from the aircraft by our personnel and local governments,” he adds.
Air Panama says it is “cooperating” with AAC to establish the cause of the outbreak.
