A four-engine aircraft failed to stop after landing at Geneina Airport, resulting in an overrun and significant structural damage.

What happened

Upon completing its landing at Geneina Airport, a four-engine aircraft encountered difficulties decelerating on the runway. The aircraft was unable to come to a halt within the available runway length, leading to an excursion from the paved surface. During the overrun, the aircraft's undercarriage was lost, and the plane eventually came to a stop after traveling past the runway limits.

Despite the severity of the impact, there were no casualties reported. All six crew members on board managed to evacuate the aircraft without sustaining any injuries. However, the impact and the loss of landing gear resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss, as the damage was deemed beyond repair.

Findings

  • The aircraft failed to stop within the remaining runway distance following touchdown.
  • The overrun resulted in the separation of the undercarriage from the airframe.

Probable cause

The aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently to stop within the remaining runway distance after touchdown.
