What happened
During an arrival from Bangui, a single-engine aircraft experienced a loss of control during the landing phase. The sequence of events began after an otherwise routine flight, but upon touchdown, the aircraft experienced a bounce on the runway. This instability caused the plane to veer away from the intended path and exit the runway surface.
Following the excursion, the aircraft came to a stop off the paved area. While the impact resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair, there were no casualties reported. All seven occupants on board were able to evacuate the wreckage without sustaining any injuries.
Findings
- The aircraft experienced a bounce during the landing roll.
- The loss of directional control led to the runway excursion.
