The Piper PA-46-350P Malibu Mirage suffered a runway excursion on landing at Courchevel Altiport, France. The pilot missed the touch down zone and landed about 200 m past it. Due to its high speed and leftover snow on the runway the plane was not able to stop in time and continued past the end, into a snow berm. Three of the five occupants were slightly injured, the Courchevel firefighters sent them to the station's medical office. One passenger was removed from the fuselage by paramedics and left on a stretcher in an ambulance.
The flight was organized by a company which had a recent web platform connecting aeroplane owners, pilots and passengers. The purpose of the flight was to transport three passengers, travelling for business, departing from Toussus-Le-Noble aerodrome.
During the final to Courchevel mountain airfield, the pilot extended the flaps to the second of the three detents. The plane’s parameters were not stabilized. The speed on short final was consistent with the speed suggested by the instructor during the pilot’s skill-test flight carried out the day before. After flaring, when the plane was parallel with the runway, the pilot throttled back late. This power reduction took place halfway along the runway, at around 270 m after the runway threshold when the speed was still 80 kt.
The remaining distance was insufficient to safely stop the aeroplane. Despite the pilot’s inputs on the brakes to try to stop the aircraft, it overran the runway and collided with a wall of snow.
Contributing factors
The accumulation of a small amount of recent or total experience in various fields may have
contributed to the long landing, in particular:
ˆ The captain’s absence of experience at Courchevel mountain airfield since obtaining
the access authorization.
ˆ The absence of experience of landing at a mountain airfield with a plane whose
characteristics were different to those of the D140.
ˆ The captain’s small amount of experience on the PA-46.
The following factors may have contributed to the pilot and service provider company
making an erroneous assessment of the risks associated with this flight:
ˆ The absence of operational support for the pilot.
ˆ The desire to show that they were able to carry out a first commercial service with
passengers.
The following factor may have contributed to a passenger transport flight being carried out
which did not comply with the commercial air transport requirements:
ˆ The absence of oversight by the civil aviation authorities for this type of practice.
