Incident
Following an uneventful flight from Moanda, Gabon, the crew initiated the approach in poor weather conditions, including rain, strong crosswinds, and turbulence. After touchdown, the twin-engine aircraft skidded and then veered off the runway to the left. While contacting soft ground, the landing gear collapsed, and the left engine was partially torn off.
Occupants and Damage
All 10 occupants escaped uninjured. The aircraft sustained substantial damage and was considered damaged beyond repair.
Investigation
Wind shear conditions are suspected as a possible factor in the incident.
