What happened

The flight proceeded as planned with all passengers exiting the aircraft for their jumps. Once the skydivers had successfully exited, the pilot began a descent to return to the departure airfield.
During the final approach phase, the single-engine airplane went down in a field situated approximately 3 km northeast of the aerodrome, near the location of Sévignacq. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft. There was one fatality recorded, involving the pilot who was the only person remaining on board at the time of the crash.
