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

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.
