9M-EAC was on its way to do some circuits and landings when it encountered engine problems. The captain decided to turn back to the runway but ended up crashing short into a river instead.
The most probable cause of the accident was due to loss of power from the engine. There were conflicting statements from witnesses as to whether the engine had totally ceased or was still partially running at the time of impact.
Fuel and oil samples taken after the recovery of the wreckage from the river were also deemed inconclusive due to the level of contamination after being submerged in the river for over two weeks.
