What happened
Following its departure from Trinidad Airport, an aircraft encountered significant mechanical issues related to its propulsion system. During the initial climb phase, the crew identified critical engine problems that compromised the flight's stability and safety.
In an effort to manage the emergency, the crew attempted to perform an unplanned landing. The descent led the aircraft into a densely wooded region, where it struck the terrain. The impact caused the loss of the landing gear and initiated a high-speed slide across the ground. The sequence of events concluded when the aircraft came to a complete stop, having sustained severe structural damage, including the partial loss of the right wing.
Consequences
- The incident resulted in several injuries among those on board.
- The aircraft was determined to be a total loss and was subsequently written off.
- The crash landing occurred within a forested area near the departure site.
