What happened
During the early stages of flight following departure from Kaohsing Airport, the aircraft experienced significant mechanical difficulties involving one of its engines. As the crew attempted to manage these engine troubles while in the initial climb phase, the plane lost sufficient airspeed and entered a stall.
Following the loss of control, the aircraft descended into a residential district located in close proximity to the airport. The impact resulted in a post-crash fire that consumed the wreckage. The accident resulted in 12 fatalities among the occupants of the aircraft, along with one fatality on the ground. Additionally, one passenger sustained injuries during the event.
Findings
Official investigations into the crash concluded that the primary factor was engine trouble occurring for undetermined reasons during the climb.
