Remember the C-130 crash in Colombia a month ago and killed 24 and left 43 injured? News reports indicated the pilots were arrested after the preliminary report came out. Given the outcome, the preliminary report pointed to pilot actions, along with runway conditions and weather, underlining there were no mechanical issues with the aircraft. Key findings from the investigation include: No mechanical failures contributed to the accident. The aircraft departed Viru Viru bound for El Alto. Weather conditions at the destination deteriorated en route, with storms and hail reported, but the crew received no weather updates. On arrival at El Alto, the crew was cleared to land on runway 10. Due to convective activity on that runway, they opted to approach runway 28 instead. Runway 28 is located at 13,300 ft elevation, measures 4,000 m in length, and has a negative gradient of 1.55%. METAR data indicated winds between 050°/10 kt and 360°/08 kt. According to the Investigators, the approach was conducted above the glide slope and at excessive speed. The aircraft touched down on the nose gear only, approximately 1,200 m beyond the threshold. Without compression of the main landing gear struts, the brakes and thrust reversers remained unavailable. Once the main gear touched down, the aircraft entered a section of runway contaminated by hail and slush, resulting in hydroplaning in the final third of the runway, an overrun, and the accident.
