What happened
During the final approach phase at Niigata Airport, the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of power due to an engine failure. Following this mechanical malfunction, the aircraft entered a stall condition. The descent continued until the plane impacted the ground approximately 3.2 km before reaching the runway threshold.
Despite the impact, there were no fatalities or injuries reported among those on board. However, the incident resulted in the total loss of the aircraft, which was subsequently declared a write-off.
Findings
Official investigations concluded that the primary factor leading to the accident was an engine failure occurring while the aircraft was configured for landing.
