What happened
During a scheduled local training mission operating out of RAF Colerne, an aircraft experienced a critical mechanical failure. While the crew was performing the final approach to the runway, one of the engines ceased functioning properly.
This loss of power caused the aircraft to enter a stall condition. Consequently, the plane descended into a field located just before reaching the runway threshold. The impact resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss due to extensive damage.
Findings
- There were three injuries reported among the crew members involved in the incident.
- The primary factor contributing to the accident was an engine failure during the approach phase.
