What happened
During a nighttime cargo operation departing from Stauning Airport, a twin engine aircraft encountered a critical in-flight emergency. The flight, which was scheduled to travel to Manchester, departed from runway 27 at 00:00 local time with a crew of two pilots.
While the aircraft was in its initial climb phase, the crew reported that the main cabin door had opened. In response to this emergency, the captain decreased power to both engines to manage the situation. The aircraft subsequently performed a crash landing on the Klægbanke, located within 4 km of the departure airport.
Findings
Following the impact, rescue teams reached the site approximately one hour later. Both pilots were successfully recovered from the wreckage and sustained zero injuries. Although the crew survived, the aircraft was determined to be a total loss due to damage sustained during the landing.
