What happened
During a ferry flight traveling from Frobisher Bay toward Iceland, the flight crew initiated an emergency declaration. This request was prompted by a critical shortage of fuel, leading the crew to seek authorization to divert to Keflavik Airport.
As the aircraft type was performing its final approach to runway 29, both engines ceased functioning at the same time. This simultaneous loss of power caused the aircraft to enter a stall. The plane subsequently impacted a road situated approximately 1,500 meters before the runway threshold. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. Both the pilot and the crew sustained two injuries during the accident.
Findings
- The aircraft experienced a simultaneous failure of both engines during the final approach phase.
- A pre-existing fuel shortage necessitated the initial emergency declaration and diversion attempt.
