What happened
During a delivery operation originating from Austria, an aircraft was performing its final approach to Leavesden Airfield. As the flight progressed toward the runway threshold, the plane descended too low and made contact with the terrain before the runway began. The impact caused the aircraft to come to a stop on the ground.
There were two crew members on board at the time of the incident. Both individuals sustained slight injuries during the event. The aircraft itself suffered damage that rendered it beyond repair.
Findings
- The primary factor in the accident was that the aircraft was flying too low during the final approach phase.
