A twin-engine aircraft sustained significant damage after overrunning the runway during a positioning flight from Kenya to Old Fangak Airport.

What happened

During a positioning flight originating in Kenya, a twin-engine aircraft arrived at Old Fangak Airport. Upon touchdown, the flight crew was unable to decelerate the aircraft sufficiently before the end of the runway. As a result of the runway excursion, the aircraft overran the paved surface and experienced the loss of its right main landing gear. The aircraft eventually came to a stop after the overrun event.

Findings

  • The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
  • There were zero fatalities and zero injuries reported among the crew members.
  • The primary factor in the accident was the inability to stop the aircraft within the available runway distance.

Probable cause

The aircraft failed to stop within the remaining runway length during landing.
