MQ-1B; ACFT EXPERIENCED TURBO FAILURE; CRASHED RETURNING TO BASE
Air Combat Command released the findings of the Accident Investigation on 6th January, 2014.
The US$ 4.5million aircraft was destroyed after the operators from the launch and recovery element (62nd ERS Det.1) lost control and it crashed just under a kilometre beyond the runway at Jalalabad AB. The operators had attempted a late go-around due to a strong wind gust over the runway threshold. The aircraft had been returning early to JAF after a turbocharger failure just over 7hours into the sortie.
