What happened
During the departure phase from Barcelona-El Prat Airport, the aircraft was performing a climb and had reached an altitude of approximately 200 feet. During this ascent, the aircraft entered a left bank, which led to a subsequent reduction in both airspeed and altitude.
In response to the deteriorating flight conditions, the crew initiated an emergency descent to attempt a landing. The aircraft ultimately impacted a field during the maneuver. While the impact resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair, all three occupants managed to exit the wreckage uninjured.
Findings
- The aircraft experienced a left bank that caused a loss of lift and momentum during the climb phase.
