A Piper PA-31 Navajo C crashed after takeoff from Deadman's Cay Airport (LGI/MYLD), Long Island, Bahamas.
The aircraft departed for the Lynden Pindling International Airport (MYNN), Bahamas.
There were six passengers on board the flight at the time of departure. Five of the six passengers sustained varying levels of injuries and one passenger who occupied the rear seat succumbed to her injuries as a result of the crash sequence. The pilot was injured.
The AAIA has determined the probable cause of this accident to be Loss of Power (Dual) resulting in a loss
of control inflight (LOC-I), and subsequent uncontrolled flight into terrain.
It was noted that the emergency fuel pumps were off, while they are required to be “ON” during take-offs and landings as per manufacturers documentation.
However, it could not be definitively determined to be a cause or a contributing factor in the accident.
