What happened
During the approach phase of the flight, the aircraft descended below the required altitude and made contact with the terrain before reaching the runway threshold. The force of the impact caused the undercarriage to be detached from the airframe. Following the collision with the ground, the aircraft slid along the surface and came to a stop on its belly.
There were six people on board at the time of the incident. All occupants managed to exit the aircraft without sustaining any injuries. The aircraft sustained significant damage during the event and was subsequently declared a total loss.
Findings
- The aircraft was operating at an insufficient altitude prior to impacting the ground.
