What happened
During the final approach phase of flight into Grand Central Airport, the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of power due to an engine failure. As the propulsion system ceased to function correctly, the aircraft's airspeed decreased significantly, leading to an aerodynamic stall. The descent continued until the plane impacted the ground short of the runway threshold.
As a result of the impact, the aircraft was completely destroyed. There were two occupants on board the aircraft at the time of the accident, and both sustained injuries during the crash event.
Findings
Investigations into the incident determined that the primary factor leading to the loss of control was an engine failure occurring while the aircraft was configured for landing.
