Circumstances:
On final approach to runway 08 at Nzagi Airport, the aircraft was too low, causing the right main gear to struck an earth mound located about 100 metres short of runway threshold. Upon touchdown, the right main gear collapsed and the aircraft came to rest partially on its belly. All 11 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. It was reported that the copilot was the pilot-in-command at the time of the accident. Wind was from 130 at 12-15 knots.
