What happened
During the final approach phase at Roboré Airfield, a twin-engine aircraft experienced significant instability, characterized by a rhythmic rolling motion from left to right. Despite these oscillations, the pilot proceeded with the landing attempt. The aircraft made contact with the runway on its left main landing gear first.
As a result of the landing geometry, the left main gear suffered a structural collapse. This failure caused the aircraft to veer away from the runway centerline and exit the paved surface. The aircraft eventually came to a stop off the runway.
Outcomes
- All eight occupants successfully evacuated the aircraft without injury.
- The aircraft sustained damage that was determined to be beyond economical repair.
