What happened
During the landing phase of the flight, the aircraft experienced a significant mechanical failure immediately upon contact with the runway. As the wheels made contact with the ground, the left main landing gear collapsed under the impact. This structural failure caused the aircraft to lose stability and slide for several dozen meters along the surface.
The incident concluded when the movement of the vessel ceased. While the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss, there were no injuries reported among those on board during the sequence of events.
Findings
Investigations into the accident indicate that the collapse was likely precipitated by a hard landing. The force exerted on the landing gear during touchdown exceeded its structural limits, leading to the failure of the left main gear assembly.
