The aircraft crashed into the sea 500 metres off Matakana Island, and some 12km west of the (main) Tauranga Harbour entrance. Early in the flight, the nosewheel steering lock either disengaged or failed to engage. While attempting to re-engage the steering lock, the pilot lost control at an altitude too low to permit a recovery. The impact with the sea was not survivable.
