What happened

During a routine training mission, the pilot encountered a mechanical issue that required immediate attention. The powerplant ceased functioning while the aircraft was airborne, prompting the crew to initiate emergency procedures. They successfully executed an emergency landing at Hohenbrugg-Weinberg to secure the airframe. Upon impact and subsequent inspection, it was determined that the aircraft sustained damage beyond repair. Both occupants were reported injured in the incident.

Findings

The official investigation concluded that the primary factor leading to the event was an engine failure in flight. This mechanical malfunction necessitated the unplanned landing and resulted in the total loss of the aircraft.
