What happened
During the landing phase of the flight, the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of power in one of its engines while the crew was performing the flare maneuver. This mechanical failure caused the aircraft to impact the runway with significant force, leading to a loss of directional control. Following the hard landing, the aircraft veered toward the left side of the runway.
The momentum of the excursion caused the airframe to break into two separate sections. The impact and subsequent movement resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft. The accident resulted in three fatalities among the passengers and 20 injuries to the remaining occupants.
Findings
Initial reports indicate that the primary factor in the loss of control was the loss of power in one engine during the critical flare stage of the landing sequence.
