What happened
During a flight originating in Greece and destined for Gaborone, Botswana, the aircraft experienced a significant mechanical malfunction. While in transit, the pilot reported that the right engine had ceased functioning properly.
In response to this loss of power, the pilot executed an emergency landing in an open field. The maneuver resulted in a belly landing, which caused substantial damage to the airframe. Despite the impact, there were no fatalities or injuries reported among those on board. Due to the extent of the structural damage sustained during the incident, the aircraft was declared a total loss.
Findings
The investigation into the incident focused on the sudden loss of propulsion. The primary factor identified was the failure of the right engine while the aircraft was in flight, though the specific underlying reason for this mechanical failure remains undetermined.
