IndiGo Airlines flight 6E6023, an Airbus A320-232, was involved in a runway excursion after landing at Sardar Vallabhai Patel International Airport, Ahmedabad
The aircraft took off from Goa at 17:44 UTC and the flight was uneventful till descent to land at Ahmedabad; during final approach at Ahmedabad, the aircraft was stabilized & Auto Pilot was ‘ON’ till 620 ft Radio altitude (RA). However the aircraft landed to the right of the center line with right main wheels touching down 22 m right of the center line and skidded further to the right. The No. 4 wheel of right main wheels subsequently departed the RWY surface and entered the soft ground to the right
and rolled about 129 m before entering back to the runway. In the process, four runway edge lights got damaged. Further, the crew controlled the aircraft to bring back to the center line and was taxied to parking bay safely.
Probable Cause
