What happened
During the final approach phase to Nikki Airport, a critical mechanical failure occurred when one of the engines ignited and subsequently exploded. The sudden loss of power and structural integrity caused the pilot to lose control of the aircraft. The plane impacted the runway surface, where it immediately burst into flames.
The accident resulted in significant casualties among the three occupants on board. Two pilots were killed in the crash, while the third occupant sustained serious injuries. The impact and subsequent fire rendered the airframe heavily damaged.
Findings
Official investigations identified the primary factor leading to the loss of control as the engine explosion upon landing. This catastrophic failure during the critical approach phase prevented the crew from maintaining stable flight parameters, ultimately causing the crash into the runway.
