What happened
During the landing phase of the flight, a twin engine aircraft experienced a high-impact touchdown on the runway. The force of this hard landing resulted in one of the wings making contact with the ground, which subsequently caused the wing to be sheared from the fuselage. Following the structural failure, the aircraft lost directional control and veered away from the active runway before coming to a final stop.
Findings
- The impact of the landing was severe enough to cause structural separation of the wing.
- All 15 occupants on board sustained injuries during the event.
- The aircraft suffered damage that rendered it a total loss, as it was determined to be beyond repair.
