What happened
A twin-engine airplane was conducting a post-maintenance test flight after departing from Windhoek-Eros Airport. The flight was operated with a crew consisting of two pilots and one technician on board.
During the flight, the crew encountered an unforeseen issue that necessitated an immediate return to the airfield for an emergency landing. While performing the final approach toward runway 19, the aircraft lost stability and went out of control. The plane struck a street within the Pioneerspark suburb, where the impact caused the aircraft to burst into flames. There were three fatalities among the occupants.
Findings
The aircraft's descent into the residential area occurred while the crew was attempting to manage an unexpected situation during the approach phase.
