Flight 605 touched down more than 2,100 feet (640 m) past the runway's displaced threshold, at a speed of 150 knots (278 km/h; 173 mph), following an IGS runway 13 approach. Typhoon Ira was generating 20-knot (37 km/h; 23 mph) crosswinds on that runway, gusting to 38 knots (70 km/h; 44 mph), from a heading of 070 degrees.
The flight crew subsequently failed to stabilize the aircraft's descent rate and airspeed, descended below the glideslope and drifted left of the localizer course, hitting a seawall about 165 feet (50 m) to the right of the extended runway centerline, about 3,000 feet (910 m) short of the runway's displaced threshold. The aircraft was destroyed ...
The DC-10 touched down 2,800 feet (850 m) beyond the displaced threshold. [2] Under normal circumstances, such an incident would have been of minor importance and the plane would have had sufficient space to come to a full stop on the 10,000 feet (3,000 m) long runway .
The old Runway 32 had a displaced threshold 658 ft past the beginning of the hard surface, leaving 2,392 ft for landing. For the 12-month period ending April 30, 2018, the airport had 13,900 aircraft operations, an average of 38 per day: 94% general aviation and 6% air taxi. In 2018, there were 24 aircraft based at this airport: 21 single ...
The aircraft plunged 20m down an embankment and came to rest on a road. 3 of the 124 people aboard and 2 people on the ground were killed. [ 30 ] 14 February 2011: Central American Airways Flight 731 , a Let L-410 Turbolet , crashed on approach to Toncontin 20 km from the airport, in Las Mesitas, Municipio de Santa Ana.
The project was completed in November 2012 and led to a displaced threshold on Runway 34. The airport lost significant airline service in the 2010s, with United Airlines and American Airlines exiting the airport in 2016, leaving the airport with one carrier, a single Delta Air Lines route to Detroit , for several years.
