What happened
During the final approach phase of flight, a twin engine airplane descended below the required altitude and impacted a line of trees. The impact occurred within a wooded region situated just before the runway threshold.
As a result of the collision with the vegetation, the aircraft came to rest in the forested area. The accident resulted in one fatality among the passengers on board. Additionally, the crash caused injuries to seven occupants who were traveling on the aircraft at the time of the impact.
Findings
- The aircraft was positioned too low relative to the terrain during its approach to the runway.
- The sequence of events concluded with the plane striking trees prior to reaching the landing strip.
