- Date: August 13, 2003
- Aircraft: Let L-410
- Location: Rumbek, Lakes, South Sudan
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: A late touchdown after the landing was delayed to avoid an animal on the runway. A separate listing gives a bird strike instead, and this could not be resolved from the sources.
A Let L-410 chartered for a humanitarian agency was landing at Rumbek after a flight from Lokichogio. The captain delayed the landing because an animal was on the runway, and the aircraft touched down too far down the runway. It could not stop and overran. All five occupants were uninjured.
