- Date: November 22, 1995
- Aircraft: Antonov AN-12
- Location: Huambo-Albano Machado, Huambo, Angola
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Wrong approach configuration with late gear and flap deployment, no go-around despite insufficient altitude, and weak crew coordination.
An Antonov An-12 carrying a UN food load on a humanitarian flight from Luanda to Huambo realised its altitude was too low on the final turn. The crew continued the descent instead of going around, landed far down the runway and overran by about 260 m. All nine occupants got out safely.
