What happened
The incident occurred while the aircraft was maintaining a steady altitude of 3,300 metres during the cruise phase of flight. During this period, the machine entered an uncontrolled descent that could not be recovered by the crew. The subsequent loss of control resulted in the aircraft impacting the ground and crashing into a field.
Following the impact, emergency response teams located the wreckage. Both pilots were successfully extracted from the aircraft and rescued. No fatalities were reported in this event.
Findings
Investigation into the accident identified a specific mechanical issue as the root cause of the loss of control. The official findings concluded that the incident was triggered by the failure of a rudder control cable. This mechanical failure prevented proper steering input, leading directly to the uncontrolled descent and subsequent crash.
