What happened
During the landing phase at King Salmon Airport, the flight crew received a warning indicating a fire in the left engine. Simultaneously, an explosion occurred at the tip of the left wing. Following these events, the pilot lost control of the aircraft type, which subsequently veered off the runway. The plane eventually came to a stop while engulfed in flames.
There were two occupants on board during the incident. Both the pilot and the crew managed to evacuate the wreckage and escaped without any injuries. However, the impact and subsequent fire resulted in the aircraft being destroyed beyond repair.
Findings
Investigations into the accident identified a fire within the area of the left engine nacelle. Additionally, an explosion was noted at the extremity of the left wing tip. The specific reasons for the unexplained explosion and the origin of the engine fire could not be determined by investigators.
