What happened
During a scheduled cargo transport mission from Toussus-le-Noble to Cannes, an aircraft experienced a critical mechanical failure while in flight. While maintaining a cruising altitude of 9,000 feet, the pilot encountered a sudden loss of power due to an engine malfunction. Following the failure, the pilot issued an emergency declaration to air traffic services.
Despite the emergency notification, the aircraft was unable to maintain its flight path and entered an uncontrolled descent. The plane eventually impacted a field during the descent. There was one fatality involving the pilot, who was the only person on board the aircraft at the time of the accident.
Findings
Preliminary details indicate that the primary factor in the accident was an engine failure occurring during the cruise phase of the flight.
