What happened
During the enroute phase of flight, the aircraft experienced a critical mechanical failure resulting in the loss of both engines. This sudden lack of thrust compelled the pilot to initiate an emergency procedure, selecting a nearby bush area as the only viable site for a forced landing. The aircraft made contact with the ground and crash landed, sustaining damage that rendered it beyond repair. Despite the severity of the impact and the total loss of the airframe, all 8 occupants on board were successfully rescued from the wreckage.
Findings
The official investigation determined that the immediate cause of the accident was a double engine failure. This event was traced back to fuel exhaustion, indicating that the aircraft had run out of usable fuel before reaching its intended destination or an alternate airfield.
