Flight Details
A twin-engine airplane, christened 'Tutankhamun,' was involved in a three-minute test flight following a 1,000-hour maintenance check. On board were two pilots and two technicians.
The Accident
During final approach to runway 32, the crew voluntarily shut down the left engine and feathered its propeller to conduct an asymmetric landing. The aircraft was reportedly unstable as it touched down too long, in the last third of the runway. In response, the captain decided to execute a go-around and increased power on the right engine. At that point, the aircraft stalled and crashed in flames.
Casualties and Damage
The crash resulted in three crew members being killed, while a fourth occupant sustained serious injuries.
Investigation
The accident is under investigation. No probable cause has been stated.
