What happened
During the final approach phase toward runway 12, the aircraft encountered a period of intense precipitation and thick fog. As the plane moved through these heavy rain falls and dense fog, the pilot-in-command likely lost sight of the runway and its associated lighting systems. This loss of visual reference led to a descent that ended in a ground impact.
Following the collision with the terrain, the aircraft's landing gear was torn away. The structural integrity of the plane failed, causing it to break into multiple fragments. A fire subsequently erupted at the wreckage site. There were four injuries reported among the crew members on board.
Findings
- The primary factor in the accident was the loss of visual contact with the runway due to heavy rain and dense fog.
