What happened
During a local training mission operating out of Kinshasa-N'Djili Airport, an aircraft experienced a catastrophic loss of control shortly after departure. The flight was in its initial climb phase, maintaining an altitude between 200 and 400 feet, when the plane entered a stall. This led to a crash that resulted in a massive explosion upon impact.
All three crew members on board were killed in the accident. Reports indicate that the incident occurred while the flight crew was performing maneuvers intended to simulate an engine failure during the training session.
Findings
Preliminary details suggest that the primary factor in the accident was an aerodynamic stall triggered during a simulated engine failure procedure.
