Overview
A training flight operating out of Gibraltar Airport crashed into the sea during a simulated engine failure exercise. The aircraft was completing a local training mission when the incident occurred on final approach.
Accident Details
According to the investigation, the crew shut down an engine to simulate a failure while on final approach. When the undercarriage were lowered, the aircraft entered an aerodynamic stall and subsequently crashed into the water a few hundred yards short of the runway threshold. It is believed the aircraft's speed was too low at the time the undercarriage were deployed, leading to the stall.
Rescue and Loss
Both pilots were rescued from the water following the crash. The aircraft itself was lost as a result of the accident. No further details regarding the aircraft type, registration, or other specifics have been released in the source material.
