Incident involving a Cessna C150 Aircraft, Registration 5Y-CAK at Malindi International Airport.

On the morning of 2nd July 2025 at approximately 0848 hours, a Cessna C150 aircraft, registration 5Y-CAK, operated by Kenya Aeronautical College, was involved in a landing incident at Malindi International Airport.

During the landing phase, the aircraft experienced bounce touchdowns, resulting in a loss of directional control. The aircraft subsequently veered off the runway and overturned next to the runway strip.

The student pilot, who was the sole occupant, sustained minor injuries as a result of the incident. The extent of damage to the aircraft is yet to be fully assessed.

A team of investigators from the Aircraft Accident Investigation Department (AAID) was promptly deployed to the site to commence a formal investigation into the occurrence. The investigation will focus on factors including flight handling, weather conditions, aircraft mechanical condition, and pilot actions.

Further details and findings will be communicated as the investigation progresses.
