Narrative:
An Ariana Afghan Airlines Boeing 737-4Y0 sustained substantial damage in a runway excursion accident after landing on runway 29 at Kabul Airport, Afghanistan.
Flight 312 originated in Delhi, India and operated on a scheduled passenger service to Kabul. The aircraft was cleared to land on runway 29 at Kabul Airport. On final approach the flight encountered an area of intensifying rain, according to the crew members. The aircraft touched down past the touch down zone and failed to decelerate properly. The airplane went off the paved surface at the end of runway 29. It continued for about 200 meters on the grass until it struck ILS aerials. The airplane continued for another 70 meters before coming to rest at a perimeter road with the nose protruding over a small ditch. The occupants evacuated using the emergency slides and overwing emergency exits. There were no signs of fire.
The DFDR showed that the pilots did not use reverse thrust until the last seconds.

Runway 29 is 3500 m (11,483 ft) long and equipped with ILS.

Cause:
Human error:
1. Overshoot landing (Aircraft landed at one third of remaining runway) .
