What happened
A cargo operation traveling from Odense to Aarhus was interrupted by mechanical issues during the final approach. While the aircraft was approaching Aarhus-Tirstrup Airport from a northern direction, the crew experienced a sudden engine failure.
In response to the loss of power, the pilots initiated an emergency descent to avoid the airfield and instead targeted a nearby field for landing. The aircraft came to rest in a location near Grenå, situated approximately 20 kilometers northeast of the destination airport. Following the impact, both members of the flight crew successfully evacuated the wreckage. The aircraft was determined to be a total loss due to the damage sustained during the incident.
Findings
The investigation into the event concluded that the primary factor leading to the emergency landing was an engine failure occurring during the approach phase.
