What happened
During the landing phase at Wau Airport, the aircraft experienced a structural failure involving the left main landing gear. As the plane touched down, the gear collapsed, causing the aircraft to lose directional control. The movement resulted in the plane veering toward the left side of the runway before eventually coming to a complete stop.
Although the impact caused the aircraft to be damaged beyond repair, there were no casualties reported during the incident. All five crew members on board were able to evacuate the wreckage safely and sustained no injuries.
Findings
- The primary mechanical issue was the collapse of the left main landing gear during touchdown.
