Incident Summary
An on-demand cargo flight carrying supplies for SPLA troops was operating from Lokichogio to the Foxtrot Airstrip. Upon landing, the aircraft experienced an asymmetrical thrust condition resulting from the failure of the left thrust reverser. This caused the aircraft to veer to the right before coming to rest. Both pilots escaped uninjured, but the aircraft sustained damage beyond repair.
Sequence of Events
The flight was conducted as a cargo transport mission. After touching down on the airstrip, the left thrust reverser malfunctioned, leading to asymmetric thrust. The aircraft deviated from its landing path, turning right until it stopped. Emergency personnel responded, and the crew evacuated without injury. The aircraft's structure was compromised to the extent that repair was not feasible.
Investigation Findings
The official investigation determined the probable cause of the incident to be a loss of control during landing following the failure of the left thrust reverser. No other contributing factors were identified in the source.
