Incident Overview
An aircraft experienced a technical issue with its left engine while approaching Kinshasa-N'Djili Airport. The crew shut down the affected engine and continued the approach, eventually receiving clearance to land on runway 24.
Sequence of Events
At an altitude of 11,000 feet, the crew encountered problems with the left engine and subsequently shut it down. The approach proceeded without further complications, and the aircraft was cleared to land on runway 24. After touchdown, the crew initiated the braking procedure and activated the right engine's thrust reverser. During this process, the aircraft veered off the runway to the right and entered soft ground. The nose gear then collapsed, bringing the aircraft to a stop.
Outcome
No injuries were reported among the occupants. The aircraft sustained damage to the nose gear and came to rest on soft terrain adjacent to the runway.
