[size=large]The right engine on flight #PC8622 gave full thrust after landing, which caused the aircraft to overrun the runway.

After the Boeing 737 touched down at Trabzon Airport, the thrust reverse on the right engine did not activate. Instead the engine was switched into go-around mode and gave full thrust, this caused the aircraft to turn left.

It is not yet known if this problem was caused by a technical fault or pilot error. The pilots first blamed an engine failure for the crash landing.

Technical issues with the thrust reverse on this particular aircraft were known to the airline before this accident.
