What happened
While operating near the coast of Rhodes, an aircraft experienced a simultaneous failure of both engines. Following the loss of power, the pilot initiated an emergency procedure to ditch the aircraft in the water to avoid a more catastrophic impact.
During the descent and subsequent impact with the sea, the aircraft became submerged and was ultimately lost. Despite the loss of the airframe, all individuals on board were successfully rescued from the scene without any reported fatalities or injuries.
Findings
- The primary event was a double engine failure occurring during the flight.
- The aircraft was lost following its impact with the water.
