What happened
During the final segment of an approach to Along Airport, an aircraft experienced a loss of altitude control. While descending toward the runway, the plane made contact with a fence located before the threshold. This impact led to an aerodynamic stall, causing the aircraft to crash and subsequently catch fire. Despite the intensity of the flames, which partially destroyed the airframe, all seven occupants were successfully rescued from the wreckage.
Findings
Investigations into the accident determined that the co-pilot in command failed to maintain a sufficient altitude during the approach. The official findings indicate that the crash was caused by the co-pilot's failure to execute a safe landing procedure. Additionally, it was noted that the captain did not have the authorization to permit the co-pilot to conduct the landing.
