What happened
Following departure from Bronson Creek, the aircraft began a climb toward an altitude of 800 feet. During this ascent, the crew attempted to execute a turn to the left. During the maneuver, the left wing reached a bank angle of 30 degrees. This movement led to an aerodynamic stall, causing the aircraft to descend rapidly and impact the ground. Upon impact, the wreckage ignited, resulting in a post-crash fire.
Findings
- The aircraft was transporting a cargo of gold at the time of the accident.
- The incident resulted in two fatalities.
- The primary factor in the accident was the aerodynamic stall that occurred during the left-hand turn.
