What happened
On a positioning flight traveling from Morlaix toward Dijon, a twin-engine aircraft experienced a catastrophic failure while cruising at flight level 230. During the flight, the aircraft began a left-hand turn which subsequently transitioned into an uncontrolled descent. The aircraft suffered partial mid-air disintegration before impacting an open field in the vicinity of Saint-Broladre.
No distress signals were transmitted by the pilot before the loss of control occurred. The impact resulted in the death of one fatality, as the pilot was the only person on board at the time of the accident. Following the crash, investigators noted that debris from the wreckage was scattered across a distance exceeding 8 km.
Findings
There is no information available regarding the specific mechanical or environmental factors that led to the initial left turn and subsequent descent.
