What happened
During a nighttime approach to runway 28 at Nuremberg Airport, an aircraft impacted treetops before crashing into a forested region situated approximately 4 km from the runway threshold. The impact resulted in a post-crash fire that consumed the airframe. There were three fatalities among the occupants of the plane, with no survivors reported.
Findings
Investigations into the accident highlighted two primary contributing elements. It is believed that an excessive buildup of ice or frost on the fuselage played a significant role in the loss of control during the approach. Additionally, evidence indicated that the pilot's blood alcohol concentration was measured between 1.21 and 2.5‰, which served as a further contributing factor to the event.
