What happened
A local skydiving mission operating out of Casale Monferrato Airfield ended in an accident when the aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent. During the cruise phase of the flight, the pilot lost command of the single-engine aircraft.
As the situation developed, all skydivers on board successfully exited the plane before the impact occurred. The aircraft subsequently struck a residential area within Casale Monferrato. The pilot, who was the only person remaining on the aircraft at the time of the crash, sustained injuries during the event.
Findings
The primary factor leading to the accident was the loss of control by the pilot while the plane was at cruising altitude.
