History
On 15 December 2006, a Piper PA-34-220T Seneca III, registration EC-HOL, was operating a private flight from Fuentemilanos aerodrome (LEFM) to Jerez Airport (LEJR) under visual flight rules. The aircraft departed Fuentemilanos at 11:24 local time. Onboard were two pilots and two passengers. The pilot in the left front seat was listed as pilot in command on the flight plan and was a company employee; the pilot in the right front seat was the majority owner of the aircraft's owning company. The two passengers occupied the rear seats.
Initial radio contact with Jerez control tower was established at 13:02:21. Weather conditions at Jerez were reported as CAVOK with light or calm winds. Runway 02 was in use. Between 13:01 and 13:05, three other light aircraft (including a Cessna 172) entered the traffic pattern.
