On August 6, 1986, a Sud-Aviation SE-210 Caravelle (registration 5N-AWK) operated by Kabo Air was involved in an aviation accident near Calabar, Nigeria during landing or approach. No fatalities were reported. Investigators recorded the probable cause as: The aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently during the landing roll, leading to a runway excursion. 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 runway excursion following its landing at Calabar Airport, resulting in significant damage to the airframe.
What happened
Upon completing its landing sequence at Calabar Airport, the aircraft encountered operational difficulties while attempting to decelerate on the runway. The vessel was unable to come to a complete stop within the designated runway limits, leading to an overrun. The aircraft traveled several dozen meters past the end of the runway before finally coming to a halt.
Findings
While the incident resulted in no fatalities or injuries, the impact and subsequent excursion caused extensive damage to the airframe. The structural damage sustained during the event was so severe that the aircraft was declared a total loss, rendered beyond repair.
Probable cause
The aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently during the landing roll, leading to a runway excursion.
