What happened
A flight operating between Haiti and Florida experienced a critical emergency while cruising near Andros Island. During the transit, the crew encountered severe issues with the aircraft's engines, which necessitated an immediate departure from their planned route.
As the situation progressed, the crew performed a ditching maneuver in the waters off Andros Town. The aircraft type came to rest in relatively shallow water following the impact. Despite the emergency nature of the landing, all seven occupants were successfully evacuated from the plane without any reported injuries or fatalities.
Findings
The investigation into the incident determined that the primary reason for the forced water landing was a dual engine failure, specifically characterized by an engine flameout on both powerplants during the cruise phase of flight.
