What happened
During an approach to Edinburgh under conditions of snowfall, the flight crew initiated an emergency procedure. The aircraft did not land on the designated runway but instead came to rest on the Carrick Knowe Golf course in Corstorphine. This location is situated less than 2 km from the runway threshold.
Upon impact and subsequent stoppage, the airframe sustained severe structural damage that rendered it beyond repair. Despite the extent of the physical damage to the machine, both members of the flight crew escaped without sustaining any injuries.
Findings
The incident occurred specifically during the final approach phase while snow was falling. The decision or necessity to divert from the runway led to the landing on adjacent terrain, specifically a golf course. The primary outcome was the total loss of the aircraft due to damage, although human safety was preserved as both crew members remained unhurt.
