Incident Overview
During a scheduled flight, the aircraft encountered a critical mechanical issue when its central engine failed while airborne. This sudden loss of power necessitated an immediate response from the flight crew, who initiated emergency procedures to secure a safe landing as quickly as possible.
Emergency Landing and Outcome
The crew successfully guided the aircraft to a crash landing in the vicinity of Gran Tarajal, located on the southern part of Fuerteventura Island. Despite the severity of the impact and the nature of the forced landing, all three individuals on board survived the incident without sustaining any injuries.
Aircraft Condition and Investigation Findings
Following the event, a thorough assessment of the airframe revealed extensive structural damage. Consequently, the aircraft was officially classified as damaged beyond repair, rendering it unserviceable for future operations. The official investigation concluded that the primary factor leading to the emergency landing was the in-flight failure of the central engine.
