What happened
During a recent landing operation at Port Harcourt Airport, an aircraft experienced a runway excursion. Following the initial touchdown on the runway, the pilot was unable to decelerate the plane within the available remaining distance of the pavement.
As the aircraft continued past the end of the runway, it overran the threshold and encountered terrain. The force of the overrun caused the aircraft to lose its undercarriage. The movement eventually ceased a few dozen meters beyond the runway limits.
Findings
There were zero fatalities and no injuries reported among the occupants following the incident. While the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss, the primary factor in the event was the inability to stop the plane within the runway limits.
