What happened
During the landing phase of the flight, the aircraft's nose landing gear failed to support the weight of the plane, leading to a structural collapse. Following the impact of the gear failure, the aircraft type slid across the runway surface for a distance of several yards before the movement ceased.
While the incident resulted in no injuries to those on board, the damage sustained during the slide was severe enough that the aircraft was declared a total loss and written off.
Findings
Official investigations concluded that the primary factor in the accident was the mechanical failure of the nose gear at the moment of landing.
