What happened
During a local training session at Bilbao-Sondica Airport, the crew was performing a series of touch-and-go maneuvers. While initiating a new approach, the flight crew received an alert regarding flaps asymmetry. In response to this warning, the captain elected to proceed with the landing using a flapless configuration.
Environmental conditions at the time included heavy rainfall and a tailwind component. Due to these factors, the aircraft type landed significantly further down the runway than intended on the wet surface. The aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently within the available runway length, resulting in an overrun. As the plane exited the paved surface and encountered soft ground, the nose gear and the right main gear collapsed. The impact caused the airframe to break into three separate sections.
There were no fatalities among the four crew members, all of whom escaped the wreckage without injury. The aircraft was a total loss.
Findings
Investigations concluded that the primary factor was an incorrect approach configuration. The decision to execute a landing without flaps while facing a tailwind resulted in excessive approach speeds, which prevented the aircraft from stopping before the end of the runway.
