What happened
Following its arrival at Nairobi-Wilson Airport, a twin engine airplane experienced a loss of braking capability or insufficient stopping distance. The aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently before the end of the runway, leading to an overrun of the paved surface. During the excursion, the plane traveled off the airfield and came to a stop within a ravine.
While the incident resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair, there were no casualties reported among those on board. The event occurred during the landing phase of the flight operations.
Findings
- The aircraft failed to remain within the runway boundaries after touchdown.
- The impact with the terrain in the ravine caused total hull loss.
