What happened
The incident occurred while the operator was conducting a cargo flight destined for Nairobi-Wilson Airport. During the final approach phase, specifically while executing a turn to align with the runway, the pilot lost control of the aircraft. The loss of control resulted in an immediate crash into the terrain. Upon impact, the airframe burst into flames.
The accident caused severe damage to the structure, which was ultimately destroyed by the combination of impact forces and the subsequent post-crash fire. Both occupants on board were seriously injured as a result of the collision. The source material identifies the pilot as A. J. Master, though per privacy guidelines for this database entry, individuals are referred to generally as crew members in standard reporting contexts; however, the factual record confirms two persons aboard who sustained serious injuries.
Findings
The primary sequence leading to the accident was the loss of control during a maneuver on final approach. The destruction of the aircraft was attributed to the physical forces of the impact and the intensity of the fire that followed the crash.
