What happened
During an approach to Bratislava-Ivanka-Milan Rastislav Štefánik Airport, the flight crew encountered significantly reduced visibility. While attempting to land on runway 22, the aircraft descended below the established decision height. The plane subsequently impacted the ground in a field situated approximately 1,800 metres before the start of the runway.
The accident resulted in four fatalities among the occupants. One crew member sustained injuries during the impact.
Findings
Investigations into the crash determined that the primary factor was the decision to continue the approach after descending below the required decision height while operating in marginal weather conditions.
