Event Details
Shortly after departing from Churchill Airport, the flight crew encountered engine anomalies. The left engine exhibited a drop in oil pressure accompanied by an increase in oil temperature. In response, the crew decided to return to the airport.
Emergency Landing
During the return attempt, the situation deteriorated, forcing the crew to execute an emergency landing. The aircraft touched down in a rocky area approximately one kilometer short of runway 15. The landing resulted in the aircraft coming to rest with substantial damage, rendering it beyond economical repair.
Occupant Injuries
Both individuals on board escaped the accident with minor injuries. No further details about their condition were provided.
Weight Issue
Subsequent reports indicated that the aircraft's total weight at takeoff significantly exceeded its maximum gross weight. The investigation did not explicitly attribute the engine problems or the accident to the overweight condition, but the fact was documented.
