What happened
During a scheduled cargo operation departing from Biên Hòa, an aircraft was performing its final approach to Lam Sơn Airfield (V-214). As the flight neared the runway threshold, the pilot experienced a sudden loss of control. The aircraft impacted the ground several hundred meters short of the runway, resulting in a post-crash fire that consumed the airframe.
At the time of the accident, the pilot was the only person on board the aircraft. The impact and subsequent flames led to the total destruction of the plane. While the aircraft was lost, the pilot survived the event with injuries.
Findings
Official investigations into the accident identified a propeller malfunction occurring during the final approach phase as the primary factor leading to the loss of control.
