Incident Overview
The airplane was on a ferry flight from Dunkirk-Chautauqua County Airport, New York, to Fort-Lauderdale-Executive Airport, Florida, with a crew of two. After reaching an altitude of 10,000 feet, the crew reported technical problems with the onboard electric system and decided to divert to Jamestown-Chautauqua County Airport.
Approach and Impact
During the final approach to runway 25, the airplane was traveling at an airspeed of 157 knots with a rate of descent of 1,000 feet per minute. It struck the ground at the runway threshold, went out of control, and caught fire. The aircraft then veered off the runway to the left and came to rest in a grassy area, where it burst into flames.
Aftermath
Both crew members were rescued from the wreckage and sustained various injuries. The airplane was totally destroyed by the fire.
