Videos show that the weather was poor/raining.

Likelihood that the pilot was trying to get under the weather (avoiding entering clouds) and most likely either had a bird strike or more probably hit cables causing the break up.

It is possible that the break up could be caused by stress G forces or poor maintenance.

Yes I thought it odd too. Maybe the plane has maintence issues or certification pending and was on a test flight.

>>5019851

Flight data looks good & normal with no strange deviations.

>>5019837

TY. I concur with birdstrike being most likely at this stage.

Possible if the strike hit the prop & took off one blade & threw the balance of the engine out. It is conceivable that the engine mounts could rip out if action to shut down wasn't taken promptly.

Yep. Ripped that right back to the main spar & the bird doesn't look that big.

Microburst is possible.

With birdstrikes often it is not the actual strike that is the problem but the pilot's panic reaction or over reaction overstressing the damaged part of the plane that causes the breakup or crash.
