What happened
During the landing phase of the flight, the aircraft experienced a mechanical failure involving its undercarriage. As the plane touched down, the landing gear collapsed, preventing a controlled rollout on the runway surface. Consequently, the aircraft veered off the prepared surface and transitioned into a ravine.
Despite the impact and the subsequent position of the aircraft in the terrain, there were no fatalities or injuries sustained by those on board. The aircraft remained intact enough to prevent further harm during the excursion.
Findings
- The primary factor in the accident was the loss of the undercarriage functionality upon contact with the ground.
