- Date: February 23, 1998
- Aircraft: Boeing 737-200
- Location: Kaduna-Intl, Kaduna, Nigeria
- Fatalities: 0

- Cause: The instructor pilot's decision to carry out four rejected takeoffs in quick succession, without adequate brake cooling, overheated the brakes and started the fire.
A Boeing 737-200 on a training flight at Kaduna carried out four rejected takeoffs within twelve minutes, which did not allow the brakes to cool. The left main gear brake caught fire and the wheel failed while the crew taxied off the runway. The aircraft burned out on the taxiway with no one injured.
