What happened
During an approach to Quevedo Airport, an aircraft experienced a landing error that resulted in a wheels-up touchdown. The impact of the landing caused substantial structural damage to the airframe, rendering the aircraft a total loss.
Despite the severity of the impact, there were no casualties reported. All 8 people on board successfully evacuated the aircraft following the incident. No injuries were sustained by the occupants during the emergency landing.
Findings
The specific reasons for the failure to extend the landing gear remain undetermined at this time. The primary factor in the destruction of the aircraft was the gear-up landing itself, which led to the airframe being damaged beyond repair.
