What happened
During the landing phase at Whale Cove Airport, the aircraft traveled approximately 1,600 feet along the runway before deviating toward the left side of the strip. This excursion caused the plane to leave the paved surface, which subsequently led to the loss of its undercarriage. The aircraft eventually came to a stop after the structural failure occurred.
Findings
- The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
- There were zero fatalities and zero injuries reported among the two pilots on board.
- The primary factor in the accident was the deviation from the runway centerline following the initial landing roll.
