What happened
During an approach and landing at Adicora Airport, a twin-engine airplane encountered significant wind conditions. As the aircraft touched down on runway 08, the impact was notably heavy, causing the plane to bounce. Following this bounce, the pilot lost control of the aircraft, which subsequently drifted toward the right side of the runway.
As the plane exited the paved surface, the landing gear was torn from the airframe. The aircraft eventually came to a stop after the excursion. While the aircraft was determined to be a total loss due to the extent of the damage, all four occupants were able to evacuate the wreckage without injury.
Findings
- The landing occurred during a period of relatively strong winds.
- The sequence of events was initiated by a hard touchdown and a subsequent bounce on the runway.
