Incident Overview
On final approach to Luanda-4 de Fevereiro Airport, following an uneventful flight from Lucapa, both engines failed simultaneously. The aircraft lost speed, stalled, and crashed 510 meters short of the runway threshold. All six occupants sustained injuries, and the aircraft was destroyed.
Fuel Planning and Route
No fuel was available at Lucapa and Dundo Airport. The crew prepared the tour with a fuel autonomy of six hours, which was intended as a minimum since the flight calculation for the entire tour was five hours and 20 minutes. During the flight, the crew encountered poor weather conditions, forcing them to modify their route. This modification increased flight time and fuel consumption.
Probable Cause
The official investigation determined that the double engine failure on final approach was caused by fuel exhaustion.
