Cargo

The airplane departed Dubai-Al Maktoum International Airport on a cargo service to Hong Kong on behalf of Emirates Sky Cargo (flight EK9788) with four crew members on board. After landing on runway 07L at Hong Kong-Chek Lap Kok Airport, the crew initiated the braking procedure. While decelerating to a speed of about 100 knots, the airplane veered off runway to the left, struck a ground service vehicle located on the perimeter road, went through the perimeter fence and plunged into the sea at a speed of 60 knots, coming to rest broken in two. All four crew members were rescued while both employees in the ground vehicle were killed. Preliminary data suggest that the engine n°4 was still accelerating to 106% N1 forward thrust after all selected thrust reversers were stowed. Number 1, 2 and 3 engine thrust levers were closed with reverse thrust levers selected to maximum while the n°4 engine reverse thrust lever was fully forward.

After landing on runway 25 at Ilaga-Aminggaru Airport, the single engine airplane was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It overran by few metres, veered to the right and collided with a wooden guard post before coming to rest against the perimeter fence, bursting into flames. Both crew members, a pilot and a technician, escaped with minor injuries before the airplane would be totally destroyed by fire. The crew completed a cargo flight from Timika-Moses Kilangin Airport.

Parked on the main tarmac at Nyala Airport, the airplane was shot down by the Sudanese Army and exploded. It was totally destroyed and all 20 occupants (90 from other sources) were killed, two pilots and 18 military personnel from the UAE. The Sudanese Government suspected the airplane to be involved in an illegal transport of military equipment and personnel for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Crew:
Cpt Michael George Oluoch Nyamodi, pilot,

The airplane was performing a cargo flight from Dhobley to Mogadishu with a crew of five on board. While on approach to Mogadishu-Aden Adde Airport, it crashed in unknown circumstances in Ceel Xabaalbow, some 24 km southwest from runway 05 threshold. The airplane was destroyed and all five occupants were killed.

The airplane departed Goma on a cargo service to Kongolo, carrying a crew of five and a load of cigarettes. About 30 km from the destination, the crew reported technical problems and continued the approach. After landing at Kongolo Airport, the airplane was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It overran in a grassy area, the undercarriage collapsed and the airplane came to rest with the right engine on fire. All five crew members escaped uninjured.

Shortly after takeoff from runway 04L at Honolulu-Daniel K. Inouye Airport, while climbing, the single engine airplane entered a left bank instead initiating a right turn as instructed by ATC. The airplane then descended into the ground and crashed on a vacant building, bursting into flames. The airplane was totally destroyed and both occupants were killed.

The airplane was on a cargo service (flight AJK206) from Lagos with a crew of five on board. After landing on runway 22 at Abuja-Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, the airplane veered off runway to the right. Contacting soft ground, it lost a gear and came to a halt in a ditch. All five crew members escaped uninjured.

The airplane departed Leipzig-Halle Airport at 0308LT on a cargo service (flight BCS18D) to Vilnius on behalf of DHL Airways, carrying two passengers and two crew members. On final approach to Vilnius Airport at night and marginal weather conditions, the airplane descended too low and crashed into houses, bursting into flames. The wreckage was found about 1,400 metres short of runway 19. A pilot was killed and three other occupants were injured. The airplane was totally destroyed.

The airplane departed Vitória-Eurico de Aguiar Salles Airport at 2334LT on November 6 on a cargo service to São Paulo-Guarulhos Airport, carrying two pilots and a load of various goods. On approach to runway 28L, the crew declared an emergency after a fire declared in the cargo compartment. The crew was able to continue the approach, landed safely and stopped the airplane on runway 28L. Both pilots were quickly evacuated and the airplane was partially destroyed by fire.

The flight arrived at the Norfolk Regional Airport about 1907 CDT to take on additional cargo before flying to Omaha, Nebraska. Airport surveillance video captured the airplane as it departed the airport. The airplane departed from runway 20 and climbed away from the ground. The airplane then entered a left bank turn, descended, and impacted terrain. The impact site was located about 640 yards southeast of the departure end of runway 20. The initial impact point consisted of multiple ground scars; divots consistent with the main landing gear, empennage, and wings could be seen. The airplane appeared to be in a flat, near wings levels attitude at impact. The tail section of the airplane and right main landing gear fractured and remained at the impact point. The main wreckage continued 24 yards east and the nose of the airplane came to rest facing northeast. A postimpact fire ensued that consumed a majority of the wreckage. Examination of the airplane found all major components located at the accident site. Preimpact flight control continuity appeared continuous. The flaps were found in the retracted position and the landing gear was found extended. Cockpit instrumentation was fire damaged and did not contain useful readings. No non-volatile memory devices were located for download. The pilot, sole on board, was killed.
