What happened
During a local training mission, an aircraft departed from Gibraltar-North Front Airport. Shortly after the initial climb phase, the plane experienced a stall and descended into the ocean. The impact with the water caused the aircraft to sink and be subsequently lost.
Despite the crash, all four crew members were successfully rescued from the scene. There were no reported fatalities during the incident.
Findings
Investigations into the accident determined that the primary reason for the loss of control was an engine failure occurring during the early stages of the climb.
