What happened
During an operation involving an unidentified aircraft, the flight encountered mechanical difficulties that necessitated an emergency landing. The aircraft performed a belly landing at Dundo Airport, which caused it to slide along the surface of the runway.
As the vessel continued its movement, it veered off the designated runway area. During this excursion, the aircraft sustained significant structural damage, specifically losing a wing. Following the loss of control and the impact with the ground, the wreckage ignited, resulting in a fire that consumed the plane.
Despite the intensity of the post-crash fire and the destruction of the airframe, all five crew members were able to evacuate the scene. There were zero fatalities and zero injuries reported among the personnel on board.
Findings
- The incident was initiated by unspecified technical problems encountered during flight.
- The loss of a wing and subsequent fire occurred after the aircraft exited the runway following the initial landing.
