What happened
During an active flight, a twin engine aircraft encountered intense icing conditions while en route. In response to the deteriorating situation, the pilot directed a passenger to exit the aircraft via parachute. Despite this attempt to save lives, all three crew members remained inside the cabin during the descent.
The aircraft ultimately crashed into a field situated in the vicinity of Sulmona. The accident resulted in three fatalities among the crew members on board. No survivors were reported from the flight crew following the impact.
Findings
Investigations into the accident determined that the primary factor leading to the crash was the encounter with severe icing conditions during the flight.
