What happened
During the final stages of its flight, a twin-engine aircraft experienced a high-impact landing on the runway. Following this heavy touchdown, the aircraft became uncontrollable and drifted away from the paved surface. The plane subsequently exited the runway perimeter and crashed into the sea.
All three people on board sustained serious injuries during the accident. The impact with the water resulted in the aircraft being destroyed and deemed a total loss.
Findings
- The sequence of events began with an uncontrolled descent characterized by a hard landing.
- Loss of directional control led to the excursion from the runway into the ocean.
