A Gippsland GA-8, registered VH-WSB, suffered a runway after landing at East Wallabi Island, Western Australia.
After landing, the aircraft overran the runway by about 20 metres, which resulted in its right main landing gear collapsing. The pilot and 5 passengers on board were not injured.
Contributing factors
- An emergency position indicating radio beacon worn by the pilot prevented the selection of full flap. The reduced flap setting significantly increased the required landing distance.
- During the landing, the aircraft floated significantly beyond the intended landing point. The pilot did not recognise the risk of a runway overrun and did not conduct a go around or apply sufficient braking to stop the aircraft on the remaining runway.
