What happened
While performing a flight from Tehran toward Tabriz, the crew encountered unidentified mechanical issues. In response to these complications, the decision was made to descend to a lower altitude to facilitate an emergency landing.
The aircraft subsequently performed a belly landing within a desert landscape situated approximately 27 km northwest of Mianeh, which is roughly 120 km southeast of its destination, Tabriz. Following the initial impact with the ground, the plane slid across the terrain for several yards before a fire ignited.
Despite the intensity of the post-crash flames that resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft, both occupants managed to evacuate the wreckage safely.
Findings
- The crew encountered unidentified technical problems during the flight phase.
- The emergency landing procedure involved a controlled descent and an attempt to reach the ground safely.
