What happened
During the final approach phase of flight into Dallas Love Field, the aircraft descended below the required altitude and made contact with an embankment located before reaching the runway threshold. The impact caused a crash landing that resulted in the separation of the right wing from the fuselage. Following the collision, the aircraft came to a stop in an inverted position.
Findings
- The primary factor in the accident was that the aircraft was flying at an insufficient altitude during its approach to the runway.
- The impact with the ground embankment led to the structural failure of the right wing.
- There were two injuries reported among the crew members involved in the incident.
- The aircraft was determined to be a total loss following the crash.
