What happened
During the final approach phase of flight to Leutkirch-Unterzeil Airport, a twin engine airplane encountered significantly reduced visibility caused by heavy fog. While navigating the approach, the aircraft made contact with trees and subsequently crashed within a forested region situated near the airfield.
The accident resulted in four fatalities among the occupants of the aircraft. Additionally, one passenger sustained serious injuries during the impact.
Findings
- The primary factor contributing to the crash was the presence of foggy conditions which severely limited the pilot's visibility during the approach to the runway.
