What happened
During an agricultural operation conducted in a region approximately 32 km northeast of Tongjiang, an aircraft experienced a critical mechanical failure. Shortly after the aircraft departed from the runway, the engine ceased functioning properly. This loss of power forced the crew to perform an emergency descent, ultimately resulting in a crash landing within a nearby paddy field.
Despite the impact, the two crew members on board were able to exit the aircraft and sustained no injuries. The aircraft itself suffered significant structural damage during the incident and was declared a total loss, being damaged beyond repair.
Findings
- The primary factor in the accident was an engine failure occurring during the initial climb phase following takeoff.
