Accident Sequence
The landing on runway 09 began with an initial touchdown, which was immediately followed by two distinct bounces. After the second bounce, the aircraft settled firmly onto the pavement having traveled approximately 2,700 feet of the 4,650-foot runway. At this point, the right wing made contact with the runway surface, leading to a loss of control. The aircraft then overran the runway end, passed through a fence and a road, and eventually came to a stop against a hillside, where it was engulfed in flames.
Damage and Fatalities
The aircraft was destroyed by the post-crash fire. Two passengers were killed in the accident.
Probable Cause
The official investigation determined that the probable cause was the captain's use of improper techniques in recovering from a high bounce, which resulted from a poorly executed approach and touchdown. Additionally, a lack of cockpit crew coordination during the approach and attempted recovery contributed to the accident.
