What happened
During the landing phase of the flight, the left main gear of the aircraft failed to remain intact. This structural collapse caused the aircraft to lose stability upon contact with the runway, leading it to slide along its undercarriage/belly.
As the movement ceased, the vessel ignited, resulting in a post-crash fire. Despite the intensity of the flames following the impact, there were no fatalities and no injuries were reported among those on board.
Findings
Investigations into the incident determined that the mechanical failure was triggered by a broken pin located within the gear's locking mechanism. This specific component failure prevented the left main landing gear from remaining securely locked during the touchdown sequence.
