What happened
Shortly after departing from Cochin NAS, the crew of the aircraft encountered significant issues with the engine. In response to these mechanical difficulties, the crew decided to perform an emergency landing. During the attempt to land, the aircraft struck a marshy field situated in the vicinity of Veloor.
Despite the impact, all five occupants of the aircraft managed to exit the wreckage without sustaining any injuries. The aircraft itself sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
Findings
- The primary factor leading to the emergency landing was the occurrence of engine problems during the initial climb phase following takeoff.
