Enugu E170 overran after landing far down wet runway during tailwind approach

An Enugu Air Embraer 170 experienced a significant overrun following a landing on Benin airport’s runway 05, as determined by a Nigerian inquiry. Investigators revealed the aircraft touched down more than two-thirds of the way along the runway due to a tailwind approach. Specifically, the twinjet crossed the threshold at an altitude exceeding 90 feet, reaching 93.5ft prior to impact. The resulting damage was substantial, indicating a serious loss of control during the landing event. This incident highlights potential challenges associated with low-altitude landings on wet runways under adverse wind conditions.
