Circumstances:
The four engine aircraft was completing a series of cargo flights on behalf of the Chadian Government. During the takeoff roll from N'Djamena Airport runway 23, the pilot-in-command started the rotation when the aircraft deviated to the left of the centerline. The captain decided to abandon the takeoff procedure and reduced power on all four engines. Out of control, the aircraft veered off runway to the left and rolled for about 800 metres before coming to rest with substantial damage to both engines n°1 and 3. All three occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was later considered as damaged beyond repair.

Circumstances:
Following an uneventful cargo flight from Paris, the crew completed the landing on runway 05 by night. After touchdown, the crew started the braking procedure and selected spoilers and reverse thrust. The aircraft started to veer to the left so the captain decided to reduce the use of the reverse thrust systems. On a wet runway surface, the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance and overran at a speed of 10 knots. The aircraft sank on soft ground and the left main gear collapsed. The aircraft came to rest about 50 metres past the runway end and was damaged beyond repair. All six crew members escaped uninjured.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the reverse thrust system failed on engine n°4.
