Aircraft Crash at Purnema Airstrip (RA-50582)

Incident Overview and Outcome On approach to Purnema Airstrip, the crew of a single-engine aircraft initiated a go-around for unknown reasons. During a subsequent attempt to land, the aircraft deviated from the established approach pattern and glide path. The plane lost speed, stalled, and struck the ground 57 metres short of the runway threshold. The impact caused damage beyond repair, but all 17 occupants on board escaped without injury. ## Operational Sequence The initial approach was interrupted by a go-around, the specific cause of which was not identified in the source. On the second approach, the aircraft failed to maintain the correct flight path and airspeed. This deviation led to a stall, resulting in the aircraft impacting the terrain before reaching the runway. The event resulted in a total loss of the aircraft, though no fatalities or injuries were reported among the occupants.
