What happened
During the initial startup procedures, the left-side engine of the aircraft ignited into a fire. The incident occurred while the aircraft was still on the ground and before the commencement of taxiing or takeoff.
As the fire progressed, the crew and passengers were forced to perform an emergency evacuation. All five occupants successfully exited the cabin and moved away from the vehicle. Despite the successful evacuation, the intensity of the flames led to the total destruction of the aircraft.
Findings
Official investigations concluded that the primary factor in the incident was a fire that originated within the left engine during its startup sequence.
