The aircraft was unable to perform the further sectors of flight UT-131 to Krasnojarsk and Irkutsk, a replacement aircraft was dispatched to Tomsk and performed the remaining sectors with a delay of 6 hours.
Rosaviatsia rated the occurrence a serious incident and opened an investigation.
On Sep 12th 2017 Rosaviatsia reported the first officer was pilot flying. The weather conditions were "simple", the approach was stable with Vref at 112 KIAS. Shortly after the main gear registered being on ground the aircraft deviated to the right, the first officer applied left rudder and the aircraft began to veer left of the runway center line. Seeing that the aircraft crossed the runway center line at about 105 KIAS the first officer applied a strong input on the right hand rudder, Rosaviatsia commented that application of right rudder pedal was disproportionate and the aircraft now veered to the right, slowing from 90 to 70 KIAS over the next 250 meters with the effectivity of the rudder reducing. No corrective action occurred. The captain, observing the aircraft 15 degrees right off the runway heading slowing through 75 KIAS stepped into left rudder, applied asymmetric brakes and used the nose wheel steering wheel, as result the aircraft was now 30-35 degrees to the left off the runway heading. The captain applied maximum brakes and intense reverse, the speed reduced to 40 KIAS. The aircraft departed the runway at a heading of 178 degrees at 25 KIAS and subsequently stopped on a heading of 202 degrees with the right hand main gear 1.1 meters off the runway. There was no damage to the aircraft and no damage to the aerodrome.
The investigation commission concluded, that the occurrence had to be rated an incident, the cause of the incident was a wrong handling technique employed by the first officer and a wrong intervention by the captain to correct the handling problem.
