What happened
During the landing phase of the flight, the aircraft's nose landing gear failed. This structural collapse caused the front of the plane to make contact with the runway surface. Following the impact, the aircraft slid along the runway on its underbelly before eventually coming to a complete stop.
While the incident resulted in no fatalities or injuries, the impact and subsequent sliding caused extensive damage to the airframe. The damage sustained during the event was so severe that the aircraft was declared a total loss and deemed beyond repair.
Findings
Official investigations into the accident concluded that the primary factor was the collapse of the nose gear during the landing sequence. At the time of the report, the specific underlying reason for why the gear failed to support the weight of the aircraft upon touchdown remained undetermined.
