That video is clearly a stall - but interestingly it looks like they were continuing to pull back on the controls - late mechanical failure and trying to extend the glide to the threshold or clear ground ultimately dropping the left wing and beyond recovery?
Hard to tell because of audio distortion but doesn’t sound like the engines were spooling up or at TOGA power - its actually very quiet (despite the audio distortion) all the way to impact?
Was looking at the prop to see if they were both under power and not feathered - am sure the experts here will analyse that shortly.
how close to the threshold was this? I have friends in Pokhara so hopefully they all OK.
RIP to all involved.
It is worth noting that this a brand new Airport as well. Pokhara is a massive tourist destination but until recently didn’t have a regional airport. Although it shouldn’t be a factor, unfamiliarity may have played a part?
