- Date: November 7, 2018
- Aircraft: Boeing 747-400
- Location: Halifax-Stanfield, Nova Scotia, Canada
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: TSB: Fatigue, NOTAM presentation, a runway change not being communicated, an incorrect flap setting and a long landing distance with tailwind meant the aircraft could not be stopped and overran the runway.
A Skylease Cargo Boeing 747 400F landed at Halifax Stanfield at night on 7 November 2018 with a tailwind on runway 14 and a firm touchdown. Braking was delayed and the spoilers and autobrake were not in the expected state, so the aircraft overran the runway, crossed a drop and was damaged beyond repair. All three crew were slightly injured and the passenger was not hurt.
