Runway excursion involving three-engine aircraft

No fatalities • Luanda-4 de Fevereiro, Angola • Landing (descent or approach)

A three-engine airplane failed to decelerate sufficiently after landing, resulting in a runway overrun and significant damage to the airframe.

What happened

Following the touchdown on the runway, the three-engine aircraft was unable to come to a halt within the available runway length. The momentum of the plane caused it to overshoot the landing area, leading to a runway excursion. The aircraft eventually came to a stop after overrunning the pavement.

While the incident resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss due to damage sustained during the event, there were zero fatalities and no injuries reported among those on board.

Findings

  • The primary factor in the accident was the aircraft's inability to stop within the remaining runway distance after landing.
