What happened
While operating in flight, the crew encountered a critical shortage of fuel. This depletion necessitated an immediate attempt at an emergency landing to avoid further complications. During the descent and subsequent landing maneuver, the aircraft struck an open field.
Upon impact, the airframe sustained significant damage, resulting in the aircraft being declared a total loss. Despite the severity of the crash landing, there were no fatalities and no injuries were reported among those on board.
Findings
- The primary factor leading to the incident was fuel exhaustion during the en route phase of flight.
