What happened
Following its departure from Sandy Lake, a single engine aircraft experienced an aerodynamic stall. This loss of lift caused the plane to descend into a nearby forested region. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the airframe.
There were eight fatalities recorded during the accident, with no survivors among the occupants. Reports indicate that at the time of the crash, an unauthorized individual was positioned in the left seat of the cockpit.
Findings
- The aircraft entered a stall state shortly after takeoff.
- An unauthorized person was present in the pilot's seat during the flight.
