The machine subsequently lost lift and descended uncontrolled to the ground, resulting in a crash. Both individuals on board sustained injuries in the impact. Following the event, the airframe was assessed as damaged beyond repair.
Findings
The immediate sequence leading to the accident involved an aerodynamic stall occurring specifically during the final approach phase. No further details regarding specific contributing factors or mechanical failures are provided in the available records.
