Summary
On final approach to Ulu, a four-engine cargo aircraft experienced an undershoot, impacting the ground short of the runway threshold. The aircraft was on a cargo flight carrying four crew members and a load of 45 oil drums. All crew members escaped with minor injuries, while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Sequence of Events
During the final approach, the crew observed that the aircraft's speed was too high. In response, they reduced engine power and selected full flaps. The aircraft subsequently began to lose height. Power was added to arrest the descent, but the aircraft continued to descend and struck the ground short of the runway threshold.
Damage and Injuries
Upon impact with the ground, the undercarriage was torn off. The aircraft then slid on its belly, losing both wings, and came to rest a few hundred feet further from the initial impact point. The aircraft sustained damage beyond repair. All four crew members suffered minor injuries and were able to evacuate.
Probable Cause
The source does not state a probable cause for the accident.
