Is the dude filming the same guy who brought down the plane?
Stalled that plane. Wing drop and inverting from the stall. Insufficient altitude to recover.
The pilot was landing at the new airport in Nepal that just opened on Jan 1. He was coming from the southeast and was originally cleared to land on Rwy 30 which would have been a straight in approach. He requested a change to Rwy 12 which require him to fly a different approach in the opposite direction.
The plane appeared to be configured correctly for landing and the engines looked like they were operating although the final investigation will determine this from the flight data recorder. What is clear from an aeronautical analysis is that the plane stalled close to the ground and entered a left spin that was not recoverable. Either they got too low and slow on an instrument approach or became disoriented and tried to raise the nose when they shouldn’t have.
The weather was good and they were not in the area of high terrain that was a problem with the old airport which was closer to the mountains.
I wonder if the pilot died from climate change?
Make note to self. Don’t fly on Yeti Airlines.
Stall on final approach. When the left wing drops from stall instinct is to apply right aileron and pull up on the stick yoke, but this only increases the stall. He was slow in the turn and when the the left wing began to drop in a left roll in a left turn the pilot needed to apply right rudder and push the stick forward to stop the left wing stall and level the plane while adding power. Failed to catch the stall fast enough.
wow that was almost instant.

Supposedly airport is new; just opened this year! I wonder if that has anything to do with the crash?
From the brief film clip of the landing approach, my guess is it was too slow and left wing stalled sending all souls into unrecoverable spin.
