What happened
While in flight, the aircraft encountered a bird strike that resulted in a foreign object being ingested into the engine air intake. This impact caused the immediate loss of power to the affected engine. In response to the sudden mechanical failure, the crew initiated emergency procedures and attempted to perform an unplanned landing.
During the emergency descent, the aircraft struck the ground, resulting in a crash landing. The impact caused significant structural damage to the airframe, rendering the aircraft a total loss. Despite the severity of the impact, there were no fatalities or injuries reported among those on board.
Findings
The primary factor contributing to the incident was the ingestion of a bird into the engine intake, which directly led to the subsequent loss of engine thrust.
