On March 7, 1986, a Lockheed C-130 Hercules (registration TT-PAB) operated by Chadian Air Force - Force Aérienne Tchadienne was involved in an aviation accident near Chad, Chad during takeoff. No fatalities were reported. Investigators recorded the probable cause as: The aircraft entered a stall shortly after departing the runway, leading to a crash. This summary draws on records from the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives (B3A); 2 related events involving the same aircraft type or operator are linked below.
An aircraft experienced a stall and subsequent crash during the initial climb phase at an airport in Chad, resulting in no fatalities.
What happened
During the departure phase of flight from an airfield located within Chad, an unidentified aircraft experienced a loss of airspeed leading to an aerodynamic stall. The event occurred shortly after the aircraft had departed the runway. Following the stall, the plane impacted the ground, resulting in the total destruction of the airframe.
Despite the severity of the impact and the loss of the aircraft, there were no fatalities or injuries reported among those on board.
Findings
The primary factor in the accident was an aerodynamic stall occurring during the takeoff sequence.
Probable cause
The aircraft entered a stall shortly after departing the runway, leading to a crash.
