What happened
During an ambulance mission, a twin engine aircraft attempted to land on the beach located at Barra. During the landing sequence, the aircraft overturned, eventually coming to rest in an upside-down position.
As a result of the impact and subsequent rollover, the two pilots on board sustained injuries. The aircraft itself suffered structural damage that was deemed beyond repair.
Findings
- The aircraft was operating in an emergency medical capacity at the time of the accident.
- The landing occurred on a beach environment rather than a conventional runway.
- The primary event leading to the wreckage state was the aircraft overturning during the touchdown phase.
