What happened
During active flight operations, the crew encountered significant mechanical difficulties involving the engine. In response to this developing situation, the pilot elected to execute an emergency landing. The aircraft touched down in an open field located near Bordeaux. Upon impact, both individuals on board sustained minor injuries. Following the incident, the airframe was assessed and determined to be damaged beyond repair.
Findings
The primary factor leading to the event was the onset of engine problems while the aircraft was airborne. This mechanical failure necessitated an immediate diversion from the planned flight path to a suitable nearby area for an emergency stop.
