What happened
During a local night training session at Riga-Spilve Airport, the crew initiated a go-around procedure while on final approach. As the aircraft began its climb, it reached an altitude of approximately 60 meters before attempting a left turn. During this maneuver, the aircraft entered a stall and subsequently crashed roughly 250 meters from the control tower. The accident resulted in 4 fatalities among the crew members.
Findings
While investigators could not establish a definitive cause for the crash, evidence suggests that both engines experienced flameouts during the early stages of the climb. This loss of power was likely linked to the improper management of the fuel system by the crew. At the time of the engine failure, the active fuel tank contained only 54 liters of fuel, a quantity deemed inadequate for the flight phase.
