What happened
During the final approach phase toward Malmö-Sturup Airport, a twin engine aircraft encountered severe weather characterized by heavy snowfall and significantly reduced visibility. While maneuvering in these difficult conditions, the aircraft descended too low and made contact with overhead power cables.
Following the impact with the lines, the plane entered a stall and subsequently crashed into a nearby wooded area. There was only one person on board at the time of the accident. The pilot sustained fatal injuries in the crash.
Findings
- The flight was operating under heavy snow and poor visibility conditions.
- The aircraft's altitude decreased to a level where it struck electrical infrastructure.
- The impact with power cables led to an aerodynamic stall and the final impact in the trees.
