What happened
During the final approach phase of flight toward Sông Bé Airfield, the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of power in one of its engines. The mechanical failure caused the plane to lose sufficient lift, leading to an aerodynamic stall. Consequently, the aircraft descended rapidly and impacted the ground in flames at a location before reaching the runway threshold.
Despite the intensity of the post-impact fire, all seven crew members were able to evacuate the wreckage safely. While there were no fatalities among the occupants, the impact and subsequent fire resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft.
Findings
Investigations into the incident identified that the primary factor leading to the loss of control was an engine failure occurring during the approach to the airfield.
