What happened
Shortly after departing from Son Bonet Airport in Palma, the crew of the aircraft communicated that they had reached an altitude of 3,000 feet and received authorization to climb further to 9,000 feet. Approximately two minutes following this communication, the aircraft type struck the terrain at Alfabia Peak, situated roughly 20 km north of the departure airfield.
The impact with the slope resulted in the total destruction of the plane. There were five fatalities among the occupants of the aircraft. At the time of the collision, the flight was operating during nighttime hours, which contributed to reduced visibility at the site of the accident.
Findings
Investigations into the crash determined that the primary factor was that the aircraft maintained insufficient altitude while operating under a standard climb power setting.
