From Avherald,
On Oct 26th 2018 Papua New Guinea's Accident Investigation Board (PNGAIB), having been delegated the investigation by Micronesia, released their preliminary report stating the aircraft "impacted the water of Chuuk Lagoon about 1,500 ft (460 m) short of the runway 04 threshold, during its approach to runway 04 at Chuuk International Airport. As the aircraft settled in the water, it turned clockwise through 210 degrees and drifted 460 ft (140 m) south east of the runway 04 extended centreline, with the nose of the aircraft pointing about 265 deg."
