- Date: November 5, 2000
- Aircraft: Boeing 747-200
- Location: Paris-Roissy-CDG, Val-d'Oise, France
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Incomplete thrust reduction on the left outer engine disabled automatic braking and the No. 1 thrust reverser. Full thrust was then applied on that engine by mistake, causing the asymmetry that led to the excursion. Weak crew coordination was also a factor.
A Cameroon Airlines Boeing 747-200 landed at Paris Charles de Gaulle at night in rain. After touchdown the crew began braking, but the aircraft left the wet runway to the right, lost its nose gear and stopped in the grass. All 203 occupants evacuated, and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
