The aircraft was backtracking runway 33 when approximately half way down the runway it left the paved surface and suffered a partial gear failure. Photos after the event show that the left MLG had rotated through 90 degrees. At the moment it is not clear if the runway excursion caused the gear damage or the gear damage caused the runway excursion.
There were 4 crew members on board and no reported injuries. The Indonesian KNKT have opened an investigation.
