What happened
During a humanitarian mission operating for the Lutheran World Federation, an aircraft was conducting a cargo flight from Juba to Panyagor. While the crew was on final approach to the destination, the aircraft experienced a loss of control. The impact occurred before the aircraft reached the runway, leading to a large explosion. The force of the crash and a subsequent fire completely destroyed the airframe.
There were two fatalities among the crew, as both pilots died in the accident. The flight engineer survived the event but sustained serious injuries. Additionally, the cargo included ten goats, all of which perished in the crash.
Findings
Preliminary reports suggest that the crew encountered technical difficulties during the approach, with indications pointing toward a potential issue involving the undercarriage.
