What happened
The K-AK and JX412 aircraft departed Stavanger-Sola Airport, proceeding northward along the coastline toward Herdla island. During this leg, the plane maintained an altitude of approximately 100 meters while flying just beneath the cloud base. Upon passing the Marsteinen lighthouse, the flight path was adjusted to head toward Bergen, and the aircraft began a climb to 200 meters.
Shortly after initiating this ascent, the plane struck the slopes of Førdesveten mountain, impacting just below the summit. The collision resulted in significant casualties. Thirteen people were killed, comprising the entire crew of nine and four passengers. Two additional passengers located in the tail section survived the impact but sustained injuries.
Findings
The accident occurred during a climb phase at low altitude near mountainous terrain. The specific contributing factors or detailed investigation conclusions are not provided in the source material beyond the sequence of events leading to the collision with the mountain.
