While descending to Goroka Airport in marginal weather conditions, the twin engine aircraft struck the slope of a mountain located 16 km from the airport, near Daulo Pass. Four passengers were seriously injured while 11 other occupants were killed. Probable cause (official findings): For unknown reasons, the crew initiated the descent prematurely, causing the aircraft to descent below the MDA. Lack of visibility was a contributing factor.
