31 May 2017 - 737-300, PK-CJC (24025 / 1556), FF 1988, operated by Sriwijaya Air overran Runway 35 by 30m whilst landing in heavy rain at Rendani Airport, Manokwari, West Papua, Indonesia (WAUU) at 08:51L (23:51GMT). The passengers and crew evacuated the aircraft with only some minor injuries.

A company spokesman is reported as telling local media "The aircraft landed at 08:51 local time…at that point of time there was heavy rain, which led to aircraft overrunning the runway. 146 passengers were aboard the aircraft, which was operating flight SJ570 from Sorong to Manokwari."

Rendani's only runway, 17/35 is 2000 x 45 meters asphalt. Approach guidance facilities such as PAPI lights and runway lights were all serviceable.

Note that on 13 Apr 2010 another 737-300, PK-MDF, operated by Merpati Nusantara also overran the runway at Rendani Airport in rain. The aircraft was destroyed but there were no fatalities.

On 19 Oct 2017 the Indonesian KNKT issued their preliminary report, significant extracts of which are reproduced below.

At 0220 LT (2020 UTC), the aircraft departed Sultan Hasanuddin Airport, Makassar and at 0815 LT (2315 UTC), the aircraft departed Domine Eduard Osok Airport, Sorong to Rendani Airport, Manokwari. In this flight the Second in Command (SIC) acted as Pilot Flying (PF) and the Pilot in Command (PIC) acted as Pilot Monitoring (PM). On board this flight were two pilots, four flight attendants and 146 passengers. There was no report or record of aircraft technical system abnormality prior to the departure from Makassar until the time of occurrence.

The aircraft touchdown then overrun and stopped at approximate 20 meters from end of runway 35. Some passengers had minor injury and the aircraft suffer substantially damage. The investigation is continuing and will include details information of flight recorders, related procedures, human factors issue, flight technique and airport infrastructure and procedure. In this Preliminary report, KNKT issued safety recommendation to PT. Sriwijaya Air, Rendani Airport, and Directorate General of Civil Aviation to address the identified safety issues.

1.1 History of the Flight

On 31 May 2017, a Boeing 737-300 aircraft registration PK-CJC was being operated by PT.

The flight was uneventful since the first departure from Makassar until commencing the approach at Manokwari.

At 0815 LT (2315 UTC2), the aircraft departed Sorong to Manokwari. On board in the flight were two pilots, four flight attendants and 146 passengers. On this flight, the Second in Command (SIC) acted as Pilot Flying (PF) and the Pilot in Command (PIC) acted as Pilot Monitoring (PM).

At 2331 UTC, the pilot made first contact to Rendani Tower controller and informed that the aircraft was descending from FL 230 (altitude 23,000 feet) and requested the weather information. The Rendani Tower controller informed to the pilot that the wind was calm, ground visibility 6 km, cloud3 FEW CB 1,400 feet, temperature and dew point 26/25°C.

At 2336 UTC, Rendani Tower controller instructed to the pilot to descend to 11,000 feet and to report when on Visual Meteorological Condition (VMC).

At 2338 UTC, the pilot informed that they were on VMC condition and passed altitude 13,000 feet while position was 32 Nm from ZQ NDB (Non-Directional Beacon). Rendani Tower controller instructed to fly maintain on visual condition, fly via overhead, descend to circuit altitude, join right downwind runway 35, and to report when overhead Manokwari.

At 2344 UTC, the pilot reported that the aircraft was over Manokwari and Rendani Tower controller informed to the pilot that the visibility changed to 5 km. Two minutes later Rendani Tower controller instructed to the pilot to continue approach and to report on right base runway 35.

At 2349 UTC, at approximately 600 feet, the PIC as PM took over control by called “I have control” and the SIC replied “You have control”. A few seconds later the pilot reported that the aircraft was on final runway 35, and Rendani Tower controller instructed to the pilot to report when the runway 35 insight. The pilot immediately replied that the runway was in sight and acknowledged by Rendani Tower controller who then issued landing clearance with additional information that the wind was calm and the runway condition wet.

At approximately 550 feet, the PIC instructed the SIC turn on the wiper and reconfirmed to SIC that the runway was in sight.

Between altitude 500 feet to 200 feet, the EGPWS aural warnings “Sink Rate” and “Pull Up” sounded.

At 2350 UTC, the aircraft touched down and rolled on runway 35. The spoiler deployed and the pilot activated the thrust reversers. The crew did not feel significant deceleration.

The aircraft stopped at approximate 20 meters from the end of runway pavement. After the aircraft stopped, the PIC commanded “Evacuate” through the Passenger Address (PA) system. The Rendani Tower Controller saw that the aircraft was overrun and activated the crash bell then informed the Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) that there was an aircraft overrun after landing on runway 35.

All the flight crew and passengers evacuated the aircraft and transported to the terminal building safely.
