Incident Details
During the final approach to Mexicali Airport, the aircraft entered a windshear condition. The sudden change in wind caused a loss of height, and the aircraft descended below the intended glide path.
Sequence of Events
The undercarriage impacted the ground short of the runway threshold and was torn off during the collision. Subsequently, the aircraft landed on its belly and slid for several dozen meters before coming to rest on the runway surface.
Outcome
There were no injuries to any persons on board. However, the aircraft sustained substantial damage and was deemed beyond economical repair.
Probable Cause
The official investigation determined the probable cause to be loss of control on short final due to windshear.
