What happened
During a humanitarian mission conducted for the International Organisation for Migration, an aircraft was operating a flight from Juba to Rubkona as part of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS). Following the completion of the landing phase, the aircraft became unstable and lost control. The aircraft veered off the runway, colliding with multiple vehicles in the process. The impact caused the aircraft to lose a wing and resulted in the plane coming to rest in a partially overturned position. Shortly after the excursion, the wreckage burst into flames.
Findings
- The aircraft was destroyed during the accident.
- The incident resulted in one fatality (the flight engineer) and three serious injuries among the remaining crew members.
- The primary factor in the accident was the loss of control following landing.
