What happened
During a cargo operation departing from Athens, an aircraft was performing its final approach to Rhodes-Diagoras Airport when it experienced a simultaneous failure of both engines. The loss of power led to an aerodynamic stall, causing the plane to descend into the sea approximately one kilometer before reaching the runway.
Despite the impact, the two pilots on board were successfully rescued from the wreckage. The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
Findings
- The aircraft entered a stall following the loss of propulsion.
- The incident occurred during the approach phase of flight.
