What happened
A mission involving a cloud-seeding aircraft originated in Siirt, with the intended destination being Tripoli. During the transit, the crew experienced mechanical issues that necessitated an unplanned descent.
In response to these complications, the flight crew attempted to execute an emergency landing. The aircraft performed a belly landing within a desert region situated approximately 15 km south of Bani Walid. Following the impact with the sandy terrain, the plane came to a complete stop.
Outcomes
Despite the severity of the landing, all five occupants managed to exit the wreckage without sustaining any injuries. While there were no casualties, the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
