What happened
During the flight, the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of power due to an engine failure. This mechanical malfunction caused the plane to lose altitude rapidly. The descent ended when the aircraft struck the heavily wooded terrain of Mt Hoher Ochsenkopf, which sits at an elevation of 1,054 meters.
The crash site was located approximately 5 kilometers to the west of Raumünzach. There were four fatalities resulting from the impact, as all occupants on board perished in the accident.
Findings
- The primary factor leading to the descent was the failure of the engine.
- The terrain at the crash site consisted of dense woodland.
