The Boeing 737 suffered a runway excursion after a low level wind shear encounter on landing at Jos Airport, Nigeria. Both tyres of the nose landing gear reportedly deflated in the incident. The aircraft touched down with the Right Main Wheel 135 metres from the threshold, skidded off the runway 28 to the left into the grass area, damaged three runway light assemblies and uprooted the armoured cables at the airport. there were no injuries.
Causal Factor
The decision of the crew to continue the approach in an unstabilized condition, coupled with the Captain in-appropriate attempt to take over control of the aircraft.
Contributory Factors
1. Fatigue, which impaired the Captain’s performance and reflected the effects of a long, demanding duty day associated with check airman functions.
2. Poor Crew Resource Management.
3. The prevailing weather condition.
Two safety recommendations were made.
