Incident Details
During the final approach to Ankara-Esenboğa Airport, the crew encountered marginal weather conditions. The pilot failed to notice that the aircraft's altitude was insufficient. Consequently, the four-engine airplane struck a concrete pole. This collision induced an aerodynamic stall, causing the airplane to crash in a snow-covered field. The aircraft was on a straight-in approach at the time.
Aftermath
The impact forces were severe. The aircraft lost its undercarriage and broke into two distinct sections. The wreckage came to rest approximately a few hundred meters short of the runway threshold. All 26 persons onboard, including crew and passengers, evacuated the aircraft safely. The airplane was completely destroyed in the accident. No occupants sustained any injuries.
