A Sunward SA60L Aurora light airplane was flying in a valley with rising terrain ahead when it became unable to climb in spite of the crew's full throttle command. When the crew attempted to turn back, the airplane dropped onto mountainside and struck boulders. Both pilots escaped from the burning wreckage and were hospitalized.
Weight and balance analysis performed by Chinese investigators revealed that the airplane's degraded climbing performance was caused by overweight.
