JAYAPURA, Papua: A Navy aircraft overshot the runway as it landed at Oksibil Airport in Pegunungan Bintang regency, in Papua, on Wednesday morning.
The Cassa 212 pilot, First Lt. Hidayat Marpaung, and co-pilot First Lt. Sahid B. landed the plane at the 300-meter mark of the 900-meter runway and then overshot it by 20 meters.
The plane was carrying one ton of food supplies for soldiers from the 521st Company of the East Java Brawijaya Military Command. Two mechanics were also on the plane.
"There were no casualties but the plane has incurred damage to its front wheel and left wing...repairs are needed before it can fly again," Pegunungan Bintang Transportation Office head J. Duma Roni told The Jakarta Post by phone from Jayapura. - JP
