What happened
During the course of the flight, the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of engine power. This mechanical failure necessitated an immediate attempt by the pilot to execute an emergency descent and landing.
Upon attempting to reach the ground, the aircraft impacted the terrain, resulting in a crash landing. The impact caused extensive damage to the airframe, rendering the vehicle a total loss as it was damaged beyond repair. Despite the severity of the impact, there were no fatalities or injuries reported among those on board.
Findings
Investigations into the incident determined that the primary reason for the engine failure was fuel exhaustion. Specifically, the fuel tank supplying the engine had been depleted, leaving no usable propellant to maintain engine operation.
