As the crew was not able to establish under these conditions which one of the right props had caused the problem both were feathered. The airplane entered a high speed descent from which the crew was unable to recover. Control was regained and the crew pulled up when breaking through the low clouds at 150-200 metres but elevators broke off. Control was lost and the airplane crashed. |
