What happened
During a landing operation onto a frozen ground surface, the aircraft experienced a loss of directional control. The airframe began to skid across the icy terrain, generating significant friction and impact forces that compromised the structural integrity of the machine. The resulting damage was assessed as being beyond repair, rendering the aircraft a total loss.
Findings
The incident resulted in no casualties. All individuals on board escaped without injury despite the severity of the airframe damage. The primary contributing factor identified was the interaction between the landing gear and the low-friction frozen surface, which prevented effective braking and steering control during the rollout phase.
