What happened
On the date of the incident, a single-engine aircraft completed its landing on the waters of Stora Värtan, located off the coast of Hägernäs. Immediately following the touchdown, the aircraft's engine ignited. The vessel continued to move until it eventually came to a complete stop.
During the subsequent fire, the aircraft sustained significant damage and was partially destroyed. Despite the intensity of the flames, there were no injuries reported among those on board.
Findings
Preliminary assessments suggest that the fire originated from a malfunction within the engine's carburetor system.
