Incident Overview
During the landing approach, the copilot, who was acting as pilot-in-command, completed the approach. Just prior to touchdown, the captain recognized that the airplane was unstable due to unfavorable winds and decided to regain control. Upon landing, the airplane went out of control, veered off the runway to the right, and struck a drainage ditch. The impact caused the loss of the left main landing gear, and the airplane came to rest.
Occupants and Injuries
All 13 occupants evacuated the aircraft without injury. The aircraft sustained substantial damage and was subsequently written off.
Sequence of Events
The incident occurred during the landing phase. The copilot was flying the approach. Moments before touchdown, the captain perceived the aircraft's unstable condition attributed to unfavorable winds and intervened. After touchdown, control was lost, leading to a runway excursion to the right. The aircraft encountered a drainage ditch, resulting in the separation of the left main gear.
Aircraft Damage
The aircraft was declared a total loss due to the damage sustained from the collision with the drainage ditch and the subsequent loss of the left main gear.
