What happened
During the final approach phase to Constanţa-Mihail Kogălniceanu Airport, a fire broke out within the cockpit of the aircraft. Despite the presence of flames in the flight deck, the crew managed to maintain control and proceed with the landing sequence on runway 18/36.
Upon reaching the runway surface, the pilot-in-command executed emergency braking maneuvers to bring the plane to a halt. Following the successful stop, all six occupants were able to exit the aircraft safely. However, shortly after the evacuation, the airplane was consumed by fire and destroyed.
Findings
Investigations into the incident identified an in-flight fire in the cockpit as the primary event, though the specific origin or trigger for the blaze remains undetermined.
