What happened
During the landing phase at Tezpur-Salonibari Airport, the aircraft experienced a series of bounces upon making contact with the runway. During these oscillations, the right wing made contact with the ground. This impact caused the plane to lose directional control, leading it to veer away from the paved surface and into a crash.
The accident resulted in two fatalities involving the flight crew, while all other passengers and occupants sustained injuries. The aircraft was determined to be a total loss due to the extent of the damage incurred during the excursion.
Findings
Investigations into the incident concluded that the primary factor was an improper approach configuration by the crew. Specifically, the pilots failed to execute the flare maneuver in accordance with established operational procedures, which led to the unstable touchdown and subsequent wing strike.
