Lima - Jauja

The aircraft departed Lima-Jorge Chavez Airport on a 20-minute flight to Jauja, carrying 142 passengers and 7 seven crew members. The approach to Jauja-Francisco Carlé was uneventful and completed in good weather conditions. Two seconds after the nose gear touched down on runway 31, the crew activated the reverse systems when he felt strong vibrations and oscillations. The aircraft started to bounce and became uncontrollable. The right main gear collapsed then the aircraft veered off runway to the right, lost its right engine and came to rest in a grassy area, bursting into flames. All 149 occupants evacuated safely and the aircraft was totally destroyed by fire.
