What happened
During a mission to deliver food supplies to Chemba, an aircraft experienced a critical engine failure while approaching its destination. The flight was being operated as a humanitarian mission, transporting various foodstuffs to the region.
As the aircraft was on final approach at an altitude of approximately 500 feet, the left engine ceased producing power. This loss of thrust caused the aircraft to roll toward the left side. The flight subsequently entered a stall, leading to a collision with the summit of a hill.
Findings
- The crash resulted in two fatalities and one serious injury among the three crew members on board.
- The primary factor in the accident was the loss of power in the left engine during the landing phase.
