What happened
Upon completing its arrival at Harrisburg Airport, the aircraft experienced a structural failure of its landing gear. As the plane touched down, the undercarriage collapsed, causing the airframe to settle directly onto its belly. The incident occurred during the landing phase of the flight.
There were two occupants on board during the event. Following the impact, both the pilot and the passenger were able to exit the aircraft without sustaining any injuries. While there were no human casualties, the aircraft sustained significant damage and was subsequently declared a total loss, being rendered beyond repair.
Findings
- The primary factor in the accident was the collapse of the undercarriage during the landing sequence.
