An aircraft lost control upon landing, veering off the runway and sustaining damage beyond repair. Both occupants sustained slight injuries during the incident.
What happened
The incident occurred during the landing phase of flight. As the aircraft touched down, it immediately went out of control. The machine failed to maintain its trajectory on the paved surface and veered off the runway. It eventually came to a stop in an uncontrolled manner.
As a result of the excursion, the airframe sustained significant structural damage that rendered it damaged beyond repair. Both individuals on board were involved in the event and suffered slight injuries.
Findings
The source material does not provide specific technical conclusions or detailed contributing factors regarding why the aircraft lost control immediately after touchdown. The primary outcome recorded is the loss of directional stability leading to the runway excursion and subsequent structural failure.
