Early data shows that the plane landed long and hot, about 1950 meters (6400 feet) past the runway 06 threshold at a speed of about 240 km/h. The runways at Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW), the second airport of the largest Turkish city, were slippery due to heavy rain, according to the local government. The accident is uncannily similar to another one that happened on January 7, 2020, when another Pegasus Airlines Boeing 737-800 skidded off the same runway.

The runways at Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW), the second airport of the largest Turkish city, were slippery due to heavy rain. Pegasus Airlines is a low-cost Turkish airline based in Istanbul. It operates a fleet of 83 aircraft, including 46 Boeing 737-800, one Boeing 737-400, 24 Airbus A320-200 and 12 A320-200neo. I suggest going deeper into the aviation training field, to be even more precise, pilot training . In the pilot’s profession the impact of “human factor” is massive.
