Incident Overview
During its final approach to Jalalabad, an aircraft experienced a critical mechanical failure when both engines ceased functioning simultaneously. This dual-engine failure compromised the aircraft's ability to maintain lift and forward momentum, leading to an immediate loss of control.
Crash Sequence
Following the engine shutdown, the aircraft entered a stall condition. Unable to recover altitude or speed, the plane descended rapidly and impacted the ground in a field situated a few kilometers short of runway 13. The crash site was located in open terrain adjacent to the airport's approach path.
Casualties and Investigation Findings
The accident resulted in fatal injuries for three passengers on board. Official investigation findings indicate that the simultaneous failure of both engines was not due to mechanical malfunction but rather a consequence of fuel exhaustion. The probable cause is identified as the depletion of fuel reserves, which rendered the aircraft powerless during a critical phase of flight.
