Engine failure and crash near Warsaw-Okecie Airport

No fatalities • Warsaw-Okęcie-Frederic Chopin, Poland • Landing (descent or approach)

An aircraft experienced engine power loss during its final approach to Warsaw-Okecie Airport, resulting in a crash in the Mysiadło district.

What happened

During a nighttime approach to runway 33 at Warsaw-Okecie Airport, the pilot of the aircraft reported technical difficulties regarding the engines. As the plane lost altitude, it impacted the ground in the Mysiadło district, situated approximately six kilometers before reaching the runway threshold. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft type.

All four individuals on board sustained injuries, though no casualties were reported among people on the ground.

Findings

Preliminary reports indicate that both engines suffered a loss of power during the approach phase. It is suspected that ice accumulation on the engines may have contributed to the power loss, as icing conditions were documented in the Warsaw area at the time of the incident.

Probable cause

The loss of power in both engines, potentially caused by engine icing, led to a loss of altitude and the subsequent crash.
