What happened
Shortly after departing from Rawalpindi Airport, the aircraft entered a region characterized by intense thunderstorm activity. Approximately three minutes into the flight, while the plane was in its climbing phase, it encountered significant atmospheric disturbances. The heavy turbulence caused the aircraft to lose stability and enter an uncontrolled descent.
The plane subsequently nosed downward and struck an open field situated roughly 20 km southeast of Rawalpindi. The force of the impact resulted in the total disintegration of the airframe. There were 30 fatalities among the occupants, with no survivors reported from the crash site.
Findings
Investigations into the accident determined that the primary factor was the loss of control while operating within a thunderstorm. This weather system was comprised of heavy rainfall, strong winds, and severe turbulence.
