Fatal training flight accident at Beauvais-Tillé Airport (F-BAXL)

What happened

During a scheduled training mission operating out of Beauvais-Tillé Airport, an aircraft experienced a critical loss of altitude immediately following departure. While attempting to climb from runway 31, the plane struggled to maintain sufficient height above the ground. During this ascent, the aircraft made contact with overhead power cables, which led to a subsequent crash into a nearby field.

The impact resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. There were nine fatalities recorded among the occupants of the aircraft, with no survivors reported from the crew or passengers on board.

Findings

• The flight was performing a local training maneuver at the time of the accident.
• The aircraft failed to achieve the necessary altitude required for a safe climb.
• Contact with power lines was the primary event leading to the loss of control and subsequent impact.
