Aircraft overrun during landing at Entebbe

No fatalities • Yida, South Sudan • Landing (descent or approach)

A cargo flight operating from Entebbe resulted in an aircraft overrun and significant damage after failing to stop on the runway.

What happened

A cargo operation departing from Entebbe ended in an accident following the landing phase of the flight. The aircraft, which was transporting a shipment of food products, was operated by a crew of four. Upon touching down, the aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently within the available runway length.

As the aircraft continued past the end of the runway, it overran the paved surface and entered the surrounding vegetation. During the excursion, the left main landing gear was lost. The aircraft eventually came to a stop in a patch of bushes. Although the incident resulted in the aircraft being a total loss due to damage beyond repair, there were zero fatalities and zero injuries reported among the four crew members on board.

Findings

The primary factor in the accident was the aircraft's inability to come to a complete stop within the remaining runway distance after landing.

Probable cause

The aircraft failed to stop within the available runway length, leading to an overrun and structural damage.
