The airport reported, that the airplane swerved out of control and came to a stop on a grassy area at runway marker 4. Emergency services responded, no injuries occured. The passengers were bussed to the terminal.
The airline reported, that the airplane had landed and slowed normally and was about to taxi off the runway, when the airplane caught a gust causing it to veer off the runway ending up on soft ground.
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) released their executive summary of the final report concluding the probable causes of the incident were:
The Aircraft Accident Investigation and Inquiry Board determine that the probable cause of this incident was the uneven traction of the nose wheel tires on the ground because of the difference in height, contributed by the cross tail wind which was quite substantial at the time of the incident. (Weather vaning into the wind).
Another contributory factor is the incorrect pilot technique used when the aircraft started to veer to the right by applying left rudder instead of differential braking to realign the aircraft to the runway.
The CAAP reported that the captain was pilot flying, the first officer pilot monitoring when they conducted a visual approach to runway 13, touched down smoothly but began to veer right about 6 seconds after touch down, departing the paved surface of the runway, the nose wheel collided with a runway light. No emergency evacuation was necessary, all occupants disembarked through the main door, there were no injuries.
Main safety recommendations issued were to the pilot flying:
- To anticipate the effect of cross tail wind specially during landing roll (weather vaning to the wind).
- To exercise the use of differential braking particularly on speed below 60 knots to control the swerve during landing roll.
and to the operator's maintenance provider:
- To ensure that tires being installed in the aircraft landing gears are all identical and in acceptable conditions.
