What happened
During the landing phase at Lucapa Airport, the aircraft's left main landing gear suffered a structural collapse. This failure caused the plane to skid along the runway for several dozen meters. The sequence of events concluded when the aircraft came to a halt on the left side of the runway.
Although the incident resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair and subsequently abandoned at the airport, there were zero fatalities and zero injuries among the six crew members on board.
Findings
- The primary factor in the accident was the collapse of the left main gear during the landing roll.
