It was found that the aircraft had left the runway at a speed of slightly over 50 KIAS and had then travelled for a distance of 278metres until reaching the fence. He had then attempted to ground loop the aircraft to avoid colliding with the perimeter fence, but this was unsuccessful and the aeroplane continued straight ahead before crashing through it and coming to rest on the adjacent public road just beyond. Once clear of this significant obstruction, he had steered the aircraft back to the extended runway centreline, colliding with the approach lights for runway 29 while doing so. As the end of the runway approached, the PF realised that the aircraft was not going to stop on the paved surface and steered it to the right to avoid colliding with the ILS localiser antenna structure sited on a concrete base 163 metres beyond the 60 metres paved stopway which followed the end of the runway. Thereafter, speed increased to reach 143 KIAS when passing over the landing threshold compared to the applicable Vref of 129 KIAS and initial touchdown on the 2000 metre slightly up-sloping runway was made with a slight bounce at a speed of 132 KIAS followed by a slight bounce at the latter end of the TDZ after which the ground spoilers automatically deployed.Д«raking action was ineffective with the anti skid units acting. Aspects of the approach had not met stabilised approachВ criteria but at 500 ft aal, the airspeed was in the vicinity of Reference Speed (Vref), thrust was normal and land flap 45Вє was in transit. It was noted that the aircraft had made an Instrument Landing System (ILS)В approach to runway 11 at George with the aircraft commander as PF.

During the course of the Investigation, two Interim Reports were published, on 22 December 2009 and on. The BCU NVM was also downloaded and reviewed.

The DFDRВ and 30 minute Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR)В were recovered and successfully replayed. InvestigationДЄn Investigation was carried out by the AAID of the South Africa CAA. The aircraft was substantially damaged but there was no fire and all 34 occupants were able to evacuate the aircraft, 10 with minor injuries. On 7 December 2009, an Embraer 135В being operated by South African Airlink on a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Cape Town to George was unable to stop on the wet runway at destination after touchdown in normal day visibility and overranВ beyond the aerodrome perimeter before coming to rest on public road.
