| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The aircraft made an emergency landing on a yet-to-be opened flyover along the Nusajaya Pulai Highway and was substantially damaged. There were no injuries.
The direct cause of the emergency landing which led to the accident was a gradual loss of engine power. However, the reasons behind the failure could not be positively established.
The engine itself was inspected but there were no signs of any blockages and/or leakages in the fuel system or air intakes. Neither did both the fuel and oil samples indicate any signs of contamination.
