A NOTAM (Notice to Airmen – alerts pilots of potential hazards along a flight route or at a location that could affect the flight) was active for Runway 11 at Sittwe Airport on this day. It alerted the crew to the following:


Reportedly, the approach was flown in bad weather.

A hard touchdown on Runway 11 caused the right-hand main landing gear to collapse. This resulted in the wing striking the runway and becoming partially separated from the aircraft.

Due to the resulting drag, the crew was unable to maintain control of the aircraft, and it veered off the runway and crossed a ditch.

This resulted in the left-hand main landing gear and the nose landing gear being ripped off the aircraft.

After hitting some trees, theaircraft came to a stop after partially sliding through a fence.

Three of the occupants received minor injuries, one of whom was the captain.

The damage to the aircraft was so extensive that it was written off. However, that was not the end of it useful life for the aircraft. After recovery the aircraft was patched up and was used as the "Cafe'Flight" bar of the Sky Palace hotel in NayPyiTaw, the capital of Myanmar!
