What happened
The incident occurred during a flight departing Decimomannu AFB in Sardinia, with the destination being Gibraltar. Immediately after liftoff, one of the aircraft's engines ceased functioning. This mechanical issue led to a loss of lift, causing the plane to stall and descend rapidly toward the ground. The aircraft impacted the terrain near the runway, sustaining damage that rendered it beyond repair. All seven individuals on board were injured in the crash.
Findings
The official investigation identified the primary factor behind the accident as an engine failure occurring during the takeoff phase.
