Circumstances:
On approach to Purnema Airstrip, the crew was forced to initiate a go-around for unknown reasons. During a second attempt to land, the single engine aircraft deviated from the approach pattern and glide path, lost speed, stalled and struck the ground 57 metres short of runway threshold. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair and all 17 occupants escaped uninjured.
