Flight
A charter flight departed Dar es Salaam at 06:00 with one pilot and nine passengers, en route to Muyowasi-Murungu Airstrip. The aircraft also carried supplies for a hunting camp at Muyowosi. The flight to destination proceeded without incident.
Accident Sequence
At 08:14, the runway was in sight. Approaching the runway, the aircraft was too high, requiring the pilot to lower the nose for descent to flare height. When the aircraft was flared, it gained speed and floated for a significant distance down the runway. After covering approximately two-thirds of the runway length, the brakes became effective, causing the aircraft to swerve to the right.
The aircraft crossed the right edge of the runway and rolled into bush parallel to the runway centerline, where it collided with stumps and trees. The nose landing gear struck a stump and collapsed, and both propellers struck the ground. The aircraft came to rest a short distance beyond the right end of the runway. Fuel spillage occurred, but a fire did not break out.
