What happened
During a flight near Gyeongsan, the aircraft experienced a total loss of fuel. Faced with fuel exhaustion, the three members of the crew made the decision to abandon the aircraft mid-flight by attempting to parachute to safety. The aircraft subsequently crashed in an uninhabited area situated a few kilometers southwest of the city.
Of the three individuals on board, there were two fatalities and one injury. It appears that the parachutes for two of the crew members failed to deploy correctly, resulting in their deaths, while the third occupant survived the incident with injuries.
Findings
- The primary reason for the emergency was the depletion of fuel reserves.
- Equipment failure regarding the parachute deployment contributed to the loss of life during the abandonment attempt.
