What happened
During an active flight, the crew of a twin engine aircraft encountered a critical shortage of fuel. This depletion forced the flight crew to execute an unplanned emergency descent and attempt to land the plane immediately.
While attempting to reach a safe landing site, the aircraft crashed approximately 8 km northwest of Jever AFB. Despite the impact, all four crew members survived the incident without any injuries. The airframe sustained significant damage during the crash landing and was subsequently declared a total loss.
Findings
- The primary reason for the emergency was fuel exhaustion occurring while en route.
