The aircraft took off from Langkawi International Airport en route to Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport at 2:08Шаблон:Nbsppm MYT (06:08 UTC). At 2:47Шаблон:Nbsppm, the aircraft made contact with the destination airport's air traffic control (ATC). A minute later, the ATC gave clearance for landing. However, at 2:51Шаблон:Nbsppm, it sighted smoke plumes along the aircraft's flight path.

Eyewitnesses reported erratic flying movements from the aircraft before the crash. The aircraft banked to the right before descending sharply to the ground, exploding upon impact near the Elmina interchange of the Guthrie Corridor Expressway. The explosion killed a motorist, while a motorcyclist caught on fire and died after attempts to extinguish the flames failed.

The aircraft struck the road surface at high speeds wing-first, quickly followed by the nose. It was completely destroyed on impact and engulfed by the post-crash fire. Momentum carried the aircraft wreckage forward; the main debris was located Шаблон:Cvt away from the initial impact zone. Additional wreckage and an occupant's body was found Шаблон:Cvt from the point of impact.

Aftermath

Recovery operations

Only one body was recovered intact among the ten casualties in the accident. Five bags of body parts were collected in the vicinity of the crash. Identification of the bodies involved 20 to 30 personnel from the Ministry of Health, who are also responsible for counselling services and emotional support for family members of the victims. The family members of all ten victims submitted their DNA samples to local police for identification purposes.

The cockpit voice recorder of the aircraft was retrieved from the crash site at 10:20Шаблон:Nbsppm. It was sent to the laboratories of the Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) for analysis.

Reactions

Abdullah, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim visited the crash site several hours later to assess the situation.

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission issued a statement advising against the online sharing of any form of videos and photographs of bodies near the crash site as they believed such distribution would offend the families of the victims and violate basic ethics. Similar statements were made by the Criminal Investigation Department in relation to several viral videos online.

Former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, shared his condolences on Facebook.

Investigation

The AAIB found that the aircraft was not equipped with a flight data recorder, which is not uncommon among light aircraft of this type. The aircraft had veered off its original flight path prior to its fall, following the ATC's clearance for landing.

Police recorded statements from the owners of vehicles that were equipped with dashcams. A forensics unit was sent to gather evidence.

A preliminary accident report was released on 15 September 2023 by the Ministry of Transport. It stated the aircraft had a valid airworthiness certificate and maintained in accordiance with regulations. Both pilots were described as certified to operate the flight. There was also no indication of incapacitation or physiological factors that impact the crews' behavior. Data from the cockpit voice recorder was successfully extracted but the transcript was not released. The report added that the early analysis of the data "has provided critical leads to uncovering the cause of the accident, with a focus on the aircraft flight control systems,” The United States' National Transportation Safety Board and aircraft component manufacturer conducted an inspection and evaluation but the report said the results were "pending".
