Aircraft overrun into Bay of Biloxi during takeoff attempt

No fatalities • Keesler AFB, United States of America • Takeoff (climb)

An aircraft overran the runway and entered the Bay of Biloxi after an aborted takeoff maneuver in July 1992.

What happened

In July 1992, an aircraft was performing a takeoff roll on runway 03 when the crew elected to abort the maneuver. Following the decision to discontinue the takeoff, the crew implemented emergency braking procedures. Despite these efforts, the aircraft failed to stop before the end of the runway, resulting in an overrun. The aircraft eventually came to a stop in the Bay of Biloxi.

There were no fatalities or injuries reported during the incident. However, the aircraft sustained damage that was classified as beyond repair.

Findings

  • The aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently within the available runway length following the abandoned takeoff.

Probable cause
