ground. Eleven passengers (including three children) and the 31-year-old Australian pilot, Benjamin Picard, were killed. Nine people died on impact, with other three declared dead on arrival at Kiunga Hospital.

The aircraft was loaded significantly aft of the centre of gravity (CG) limit. Upon extension of the aircraft's flaps, the aft CG caused an uncontrollable pitch up, resulting in the aircraft stalling and spinning into the ground.
