- Date: October 9, 1992
- Aircraft: Antonov AN-32
- Location: Mogadishu, Banaadir, Somalia
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Crew-related factors: poor flight planning for an unfamiliar airfield, a poor approach configuration with flaps not deployed as instructed, and the captain's failure to initiate a go-around.
An Antonov An-32 cargo flight from Nairobi landed at night at Mogadishu-North Airfield, which had no runway lighting, and touched down about 1,000 metres past the threshold. The aircraft overran the runway at high speed, rolled into a ravine and broke in two. The navigator was killed and twelve other occupants were injured, six of them seriously.
