What happened
During a local training mission operating out of Groningen-Eelde Airport, a twin engine airplane experienced a catastrophic loss of lift. The aircraft was being operated by a crew consisting of four pilots who were undergoing instruction at the time of the incident.
As the flight was performing its final approach to the runway, the aircraft entered a stall. This aerodynamic stall resulted in the plane descending into a nearby field. The impact of the crash led to the deaths of all four occupants on board.
Findings
- The aircraft experienced an aerodynamic stall during the final phase of flight.
- The incident occurred while the crew was engaged in instructional maneuvers.
