Circumstances:
Following an uneventful flight from Kagoshima, the airplane landed on runway 02 at Oita Airport. After touchdown, it encountered difficulties to stop within the remaining distance, overran and came to rest in a dump located 124 meters further. 22 occupants were injured and 20 others, among them two crew members, were killed.
Probable cause:
The overlapping effects of excessive air speed in touchdown, inoperative propeller reversing, insufficient effect of the foot brake and the counter effect of the second reversing operations, although it is very difficult to judge to what degree any of the above-mentioned causes affect this accident.
