What happened
During a scheduled training flight near Okcheon, the aircraft experienced a loss of power due to an engine failure. Following the malfunction, the pilot-in-command executed an emergency procedure to ditch the aircraft in a river situated within the Okcheon suburbs.
Upon impact with the water, the structural integrity of the aircraft was compromised, resulting in the left wings being partially torn away. The aircraft eventually settled in shallow water. Despite the impact, all four crew members were able to evacuate the wreckage without injury.
Findings
- The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
- The primary event leading to the ditching was an engine failure during the mission.
