Aircraft Crash in Wenzhou Due to Elevator Control System Failure (B-2622)

Incident Overview and Flight Progression The aircraft completed an uneventful flight from Chengdu and was cleared to descend to Wenzhou Airport. During the descent, the crew encountered technical difficulties at 9,000 metres, reporting that the control column was positioned too far forward. At 1629 local time, the crew received clearance to descend from 1,200 metres to 700 metres. Shortly after, the aircraft entered a nose-down attitude. The crew selected the first stage of flaps, which triggered an angle-of-attack (AOA) alarm in the cockpit. The aircraft subsequently entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed into an open field. The impact caused the aircraft to disintegrate, resulting in the deaths of all 61 occupants on board. Additionally, several farmers were injured by debris from the crash site.
