What happened
The accident occurred during the final approach and landing phase on Runway 26. As the pilot initiated the landing flare, a sudden gust of wind pushed the aircraft laterally toward one side of the runway. Recognizing the loss of control or alignment, the pilot decided to abort the landing and initiated a go-around procedure by applying full power.
Immediately after advancing the throttle, the stall warning horn activated. The pilot responded by lowering the nose to regain airspeed. However, the aircraft struck the ground while drifting off the runway surface. Following the impact, the occupants were able to evacuate the aircraft before a post-crash fire erupted.
The investigation
The investigation focused on the sequence of events leading to the loss of control during the go-around maneuver. Key factors included the wind conditions at the time of landing and the aircraft's response to the sudden power application while in a low-energy state near the ground.
