What happened
During a local training mission operating out of Namao AFB, an aircraft carrying 14 individuals was performing its landing sequence. As the plane was on final approach to the runway, a mechanical issue occurred involving one of the engines. The loss of power from this engine led to an aerodynamic stall, preventing the crew from maintaining controlled flight.
As a result of the stall, the aircraft descended prematurely and struck the ground short of the runway threshold. The impact was severe enough to result in the total destruction of the airframe. While there were 14 injuries recorded among the occupants, no fatalities were reported following the accident.
Findings
Investigations into the crash determined that the primary factor was an engine failure during the critical final approach phase of flight.
